PREFACE. 



Custom renders it essential tliat we sliould write a preface 
to a work of this character, otherwise this Gazetteer would 
be presented to the public without apology. The compila- 
tion of the work has been attended with great expense and 
no small amount of annoyance, yet our thanks are dvie to 
most of our county officials and the early settlers of the 
county for the very generous responses they have made to 
our inquiries, and for their assistance in gathering statistics. 
We also extend our acknowledgments to the county clerks 
of other counties who have furnished us with lists of their 
county and township officers. Had all thus responded those 
lists would have been complete, and information would have 
been given of which our friends will be deprived. 

Our work contains more than we promised in our pros- 
^jectus, yet is not in all respects precisely what we at first 
intended it should be. We did intend to give the incum- 
brances or legal liabilities upon property in the county; but 
abandoned the idea for certain reasons, some of which we 
may mention : We find many mortgages of record uncan- 
celled, which we have every reason to believe have been 
paid — the mortgagees having neglected to cancel them. We 
were not inclined, upon reflection, to risk giving offense by 
publishing what appears of record and, as a matter of fact, 
is public j)roperty. With this exception we have omitted 
nothing we suggested, but have added much useful informa- 
tion not proposed in our prospectus. The public are to be 
the jurors to determine its merits.

HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 



G-eograpliical Outlines. 

Yolo County is bounded on the north by Colusa and 
Sutter counties; on the east by Sutter and Sacramento; on 
the south by Solano and Napa, and on the west by Napa 
and Lake counties. It is separated from Sacramento and 
Sutter counties by the Sacramento River; from Solano by 
Putah Creek, and from Lake and Napa by the summit of a 
spur of the coast range of mountains. 

Upon the organization of the county by the Legislature, 
in 1850, the boundaries were not very minutely defined; 
but sufficiently designated to show that they have not been 
materially changed. 

Whatever legislation there has been since the organiza- 
tion of the county upon the subject of its boundaries, has 
apparently been more for the purpose of explaining what 
was intended by the original Act, than for the purpose of 
making any material changes in its actual boundaries. 

Although several Acts have been passed for that purpose, 
one of which was as late as the session of 1867-8, perhaps 
there are none more definite than the Act of March 26tli, 
1857, which is as follows: "The boundary line of Yolo 
County shall commence at a point in the middle of the 
Sacramento Eiver, near the head of Merritt's on Steamboat 
Slough, at a point where the township line, between town- 
ship number five and township number sis, north of the 
Mount Diablo base line intersects said river; thence run- 
ning due west with said township line to the range line, 



2 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

between range number two and range number three, east of 
the meridian of Mount Diablo; thence due north with said 
range line to the south branch or old bed of Putah Creek; 
thence westerly up the middle of the old bed, as well as 
the main Putah Creek, to a point in the canon where the 
highest ridge of mountains divides the valleys of Sacra- 
mento and Berryessa; thence along the highest ridge of 
said mountains, north to the outlet of Clear Lake, or until 
it intersects a line dividing the counties of Tol'o and Colusa; 
thence east with said line to the middle of Sacramento 
River; thence south along the middle of said river to the 
place of beginning." 

That section of country thus bounded and embracing 
the County of Yolo, has its greatest length from northwest 
to southeast, measuring on an air line in that direction a 
distance of fifty-eight miles. 

The county has been wholly surveyed and sectionized, 
from north to south, from Colusa County to Solano County 
line, a distance varying from twenty-seven to thirty-three 
miles. It has been surveyed due west from a point on the 
Sacramento River opposite Sacramento City, a distance of 
thirty-three miles, that being the greatest width of the 
surveyed portion of the county — there being an average 
width from east to west of about twenty-seven and a half 
miles, except that portion extending south of the sink of 
Putah Creek, as shown by the map. 

The extent of the survey westward may, for all practical 
purposes, at least for agricultural and grazing purposes, be 
considered the western boundary of the county, for beyond 
that survey the mountains are rugged and rocky, and wholly 
unfit for cultivation or grazing. That portion of the coun- 
ty which has been segregated or sectionized, covers an area 
of about nine hundred and forty square miles, which, per- 
haps for average productiveness of soil, is nowhere sur- 
passed, and it may be considered capable of supporting as 
many inhabitants to the square mile as any portion of the 
country, and we will venture here to digress so far as to 
observe that, with a population as dense as an average of 
some of the Eastern States, the number of Yolo's inhabi- 
tants would exceed one hundred thousand. 



HISTOKY OF YOLO COUNTY. 3 

Except for a distance of three or four miles along the 
western line of the surveyed portion of the county, the 
whole surface presents the appearance of a perfectly level 
plain, extending from Colusa County on the north to Solano 
on the south, from the Sacramento River on the east to the 
low hills at the foot of the mountains on the west, with a 
descent so gradual from the mountains to the river as not 
to be perceptable to the naked eye. 

This plain is only broken by a few creeks and ravines, 
which are but trenches worn into the earth by the action of 
water as it has drained from the mountains during the rainy 
seasons, except Cache Creek, of which we shall presently 
speak. We should further state that it is broken by a low, 
gravelly ridge (which does not amount to the dignity of a 
hill), extending about half way through the county, north- 
west to southeast, and being from one to two miles in 
width. 

Along the bank of the Sacramento Eiver there is a strip 
of land varying in width from a few rods to one or two 
miles, of a rich, sandy loam, unsurpassed in its productive- 
ness of fruits and cereals. Adjoining this, and further from 
the river, is a strip of tule and salt-grass land, from half a 
mile to three or four miles in width, of a black, clayey soil, 
impregnated with alkali, unlit for cultivation and only used 
for grazing purposes. Then comes the great body of farm- 
ing lands of the county. The soil may be designated as a 
black, clayey loam, intermingled with a small proportion of 
sand, and it appears to be especially adapted to the growth 
of wheat and barley, whilst grapes and other fruits grow 
luxuriantly. Such is the soil of the great body of the 
county, though the low ridge we have mentioned is a red, 
gravelly clay, not so productive as the former, yet by no 
means a poor quality of land. 

Cache Creek is the only stream of Avater of note in the 
county. West of the mountain spur forming the boundary 
line, and in the midst of the coast range, is a basin, in 
which is situated Lake County, and that beautiful sheet of 
water, some forty miles in length, known as Clear Lake, 
the outlet of which is Cache Creek, which appears to have 
marvelously cut its way through that high mountain range, 



4 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

for the purpose of transporting alluvium to fertilize the soil 
of Yolo. As it has merged from the mountains in ages 
past, it appears to have washed away the hills on either 
side, and formed that beautiful and productive district of 
country now known as Capay Valley. It appears to have 
taken nearly a direct course to empty the waters of Clear 
Lake into the Sacramento Eiver; but, ere it reaches its 
apparent destination, its waters are spread out upon the 
surface of the soil, and are made to disappear by natural 
absorption and evaporation. The county for the most 
part may be said to be destitute of timber, yet there are 
belts of stately oaks along the borders of Cache Creek, on 
the banks of the Sacramento River, and on the low hills at 
the foot of the mountains, sufficient, with proper economy, 
to supply the county with fuel for a long series of years. 

The pen would utterly fail to convey an adequate idea of 
the native beauty of that district of country, a brief geo- 
graphical outline of which we have given, especially to one 
whose travels have been confined to the States east of the 
Eocky Mountains. Imagination would hardly picture a 
country more attractive to the pioneer — a country whose 
soil is more productive of agricultural staples, whose cli- 
mate is more healthful, and whose native growths of vege- 
tation are more luxuriant. 

Prior to the settlement of this section of country, it is 
said that the horseback traveler, whilst sitting upon his 
animal, might bend the tops of wild oats over his shoulders, 
the roots being still unsevered from the ground. Less than 
thirty years ago this country, possessing, if we may use 
the expression, such mines of agricultural wealth, was the 
abode only of wild beasts. Here the grizzly bear roamed 
in his majesty over the plains and upon the mountain side, 
undisturbed by the encroachment of man or beast, con- 
scious of his superior prowess and of the inability of all 
other animals to cope with him, he proclaimed himself 
lord of all he surveyed, and neither the native inhabitants 
nor brute animals of the country invited him to bend his 
course for their convenience. Here the elk, the deer and 
the antelope, congregated in droves of hundreds and thou- 
sands, grazed upon the rich fields of wild oats, or rumina-

ted in tlie sliacle of the stately oaks, bathed in the limpid 
waters of Cache Creek and of the Sacramento Eiver, undis- 
turbed by the crack of the hunter's rifle, and unconscious 
of the dangers that awaited them. Here the prowling wolf 
came down from his mountain haunts in pursuit of his 
prey — the hare, ground-squirrel and, perhaps, occasionally 
a deer or an antelope; here worked the industrious beaver 
at the mouths of Cache Creek and Putah Creek and along 
the Sacramento Kiver, undisturbed by the trapper and the 
hunter. In the district of country we are describing, there 
were two solitary camps of Indians — the one on Grand 
Island, toward the northern boundary of the county, and 
the other in a small valley over the first range of hills from 
Cache Creek Canon or Capay Valley. These were of the 
lowest order of native Americans, indolent and inactive, 
and in intelligence but little higher than the brutes; their 
food consisted of acorns, pine nuts, manzanita berries, clo- 
ver blossoms and grasshoppers, with such small game as 
they could kill with their arrows. 

II. 

From 1841 to 1848. 

What boy has not listened with pleasant emotions to tales 
of pioneer life as related by his grandfather, his father or 
other aged relatives or friends? What child's pulse has 
not quickened and eye moistened while listening to stories 
of privations and sorrows, toils and hardships, accidents 
and dangers, incident to the early settlement, of every coun- 
try ? Who, in maturer years, does not delight to dwell upon 
those themes with which he has become familiar by the oft- 
repeated tales of his sire or grandsire, and especially when 
they relate to the early settlement of one's native or 
adopted country ? 

Even at this early day, doubtless, many items of interest 
in the history of this and other counties of the State have 
been lost to memory, and without the adoption of some 
means of preserving a record of the facts, in a few years 
more they would be entirely forgotten, or be known only in 
tradition. 



6 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

Tlie history of a county being inseparably connected 
with that of the State in which it is located, and with the 
lives and experiences of its inhabitants, it will be impracti- 
cal, if not impossible, to confine ourselves strictly to insti- 
tutions wholly within the limits of the county, or to persons 
whose residences have been within its borders. Countries 
are usually settled by those whose love of adventure and 
attachment to the frontier, more than avarice, prompts them 
to press forward into regions uninhabited and compara- 
tively unexplored ; such was the character and disposition of 
the early settlers of Yolo County — the most conspicuous of 
whom was Mr. William Gordon, now a resident of Lake 
County, to whom we are indebted for many of the facts and 
incidents we are about to relate. Mr. Gordon may be con- 
sidered the first white settler of the county, who, so to 
speak, planted here the germ of civilization, who set ex- 
amples of industry and morality worthy of emulation by 
any people. 

Before referring, however, to particulars regarding his 
settlement here, we will relate a tolerably well-authenti- 
cated story of one who settled here at a much earlier date : 
It is said, when Mr. Gordon and his party reached the bor- 
ders of Yolo County, there were at the head of Grand 
Island two or three half-breed Indians, who were the de- 
scendants of a Scotchman; that some thirty years prior to 
the arrival of the Gordon party, the Scotchman referred to 
was a sailor upon an English vessel who landed in the har- 
bor of what is now San Francisco; that he, either in fact 
or in his imagination, was maltreated by the officers of the 
ship, and so determined, rather than endure such usage, to 
leave the vessel and cast his destiny alone, in a country 
only inhabited by ferocious beasts and the lowest order of 
barbarians. Like Robinson Crusoe, upon the Island of 
Juan de Fernandes, he wandered forth in quest of associ- 
ates until he reached Grand Island, now a part of Yolo 
Count}'', when he fell in with the tribe of Indians before 
referred to, took up his abode with them, and, after the In- 
dian style of marriage, took to himself a wife, with whom 
he lived several years (begat the half-breeds referred to, 
who, in 1841, were from twenty-five to i^^hirty years of age), 



HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 7 

and died without ever again visiting the sea-sliore or being 
able to communicate llis experience and destiny to liis fel- 
low-sailors or to his relatives and friends in the Old World. 
Such is the story as we ha^ e learned it from one who in- 
forms us that the facts were communicated to him by said 
half-breed sons of the red-headed Scotchman. This story 
is corroborated to a certain extent from the following facts : 
In the year 1851, on the "west bank of Feather Biver, a few 
miles distant from where these half-breeds resided, a stone 
was found of a reddish gray color, about ten inches in length, 
four inches in width and one inch thick, on which were en- 
graved the following letters and figures : " 1818 — Gold cave, 
in this M. Ship — Lodes, L. M." Whether the Scotchman 
referred to, in his rambles in that early day, placed the in- 
scription there after having discovered lodes of gold,^oping 
that at some future day it might be instrumental in making 
known his fate to his friends, will doubtless ever remain an 
unsolved mystery. The stone may be seen at any time at 
the rooms of the California Pioneer Association at San 
Francisco. Taking this circumstance in connection with 
the fact that the half-breeds were actually discovered as 
above related, we are inclined to the belief that there is 
something in the story. If but little truth, there is at least 
a good deal of romance. But to return to Mr. Gordon. 
He was born in Ohio in the year 1800, while that State was 
yet a Territory, and much of it a vast, uninhabited wilder- 
ness. In his earliest infancy, being thus accustomed to 
frontier life, love of adventure became his ruling joassion, 
and now, at the age of threescore years and ten, he is never 
happier than when with his favorite rifle he is roaming over 
the mountains in pursuit of wild game, and but few young 
men are able to cope with him in the chase. At an early 
age he emigrated to the Territory of Missouri, and before 
he was twenty-three years of age he went to New Mexico, 
and became a citizen of that country, and though he relig- 
iously adhered to her laws and never uttered a disloyal sen- 
timent or cherished an unkind thought towards his adojDted 
government, we shall see that the familiar couplet — 

"Of all tlie lands from East to West, 
I love my native land the best," 



8 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

Would have been as appropriate a quotation with him as 
with others. 

For the purpose of effecting permanent settlements in 
California and perpetuating the dominions of Mexico over 
that territory, the Mexican Government had provided, 
upon certain prescribed conditions, for making very liberal 
grants of land to actual settlers in this country. Amongst 
the conditions upon which these lands were granted we may 
note the following: The applicant was required to be a 
Mexican citizen, either native or adopted, or must have 
married a Mexican wife (in which case the land was granted 
in the name of the wife). He was required to reduce the 
land to actual occupancy, either by cultivation or grazing; 
must erect a dwelling-house of prescribed value and dimen- 
sions on every square league ; must maintain a good reputa- 
tion, possess a good moral character, and if he acquired 
his land by the means of marrying one of the daughters of 
Mexico, he must provide well for his family and supply all 
their reasonable wants, if within his power to do so. 

Mr. Gordon's love of adventure and the inducements thus 
held out by the Mexican Government, prompted him, early 
in the spring of 1841, after having secured a grant of two 
square leagues of land (three miles in width and six in 
length), to invest his limited means in a few head of stock 
cattle and some horses and start with a party of men over- 
land to California. 

In this party were Mr. Gordon, who now resides in Lake 
County; Messrs. Workman and Roberts, who now reside at 
Los Angeles; Mr. William Knight, who subsequently set- 
tled at Knight's Landing, in this county, and died at 
Knight's Ferry, on the Stanislaus River, in what is now 
Stanislaus County, in 1849 or 1850. There were in the party 
four heads of families, the whole consisting of twenty-five 
persons, of whose destinies we hav^ not been able to learn, 
except of those mentioned above. 

Late in the fall of 1841 this little party, after having 
traversed a country almost unknown to civilization for many 
long and weary months, with nothing to disturb the monot- 
ony of their toils, arrived at an old mission opposite San 
Diego, where they took up their winter quarters. In the 



HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 9 

Spring of *1842 the party separated; Mr. Kniglit returned to 
Mexico to procure a wife and a grant of land, and Mr. Gor- 
don and his family pushed forward with their stock into 
what is now Yolo County. 

Before crossing the Sacramento they went to the quar- 
ters of Gen. John A. Sutter, who had been located there 
about eighteen months, and had completed his fortifica- 
tions against the Indians, and who gave Mr. Gordon and his 
family a cordial and hospitable welcome. But they did not 
remain many days at the fort before they crossed the Sac- 
ramento and settled on what is to this day known as the 
Gordon Grant, about ten miles west from the present flour- 
ishing town of Woodland. Here Mr. Gordon and his 
family resided the best part of a year before there were any 
other inhabitants of what is now Yolo County. 

His time was spent in trapping beaver and dressing their 
pelts, hunting other wild game, such as elk, deer and ante- 
lope, preparing their hides for market, "jerking" and dry- 
ing their flesh, herding his cattle, etc., not slaughtering 
any of his domestic animals, bu.t suffering them to increas.e 
as rapidly as their natures and the prolific climate would 
admit of. The supplies of his family consisted princi- 
pally of wild game, and Mr. Gordon informs us that this 
was the happiest year of his life. 

When he was on his way from Mexico he first heard of 
the conflict of arms in Texas, which resulted in her inde- 
pendence and final annexation to the United States, and 
was a part of that series of events that broiight about the 
acquisition of California by the United States and the set- 
tlement of Mr. Gordon's immediate neighborhood by peo- 
ple from his native land. 

It was not the fate of Mr. Gordon long to remain without 
neighbors, though they were not located so near him as to 
be particularly troublesome. They were as follows: Mr. 
Thomas O. Larkin, now a resident of Monterey, in 1842 
obtained and settled upon a grant of five leagues of land, 
where the town of Colusa now stands, about fifty-five miles 
north of his (Gordon's) residence. 

The same year Mr. Thoms settled on a grant at the 
mouth of Thorns' Creek, about one hundred miles north of 



10 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

Colusa, or one Imndred and fifty miles from Gordon's; and 
soon after Mr. Sliards located a grant near Thoms'. Tlie 
following year, in 1843, a Mr, Toombs located at Napa, 
about seventy miles, and Mr, Wolfskill on Putali Creek 
about twelve miles soutli, and William Knight about fifteen 
miles northeast from Gordon's — tlie last tw^o being within 
the limits of what is now Yolo County. This for years 
constituted the neighborhood of the early settlers, but in 
1845 Mr. Hardy obtained a grant of eight leagues of laud 
adjoining Gordon's on the east. But we should have men- 
tioned that Don Antonio Armijo settled upon a grant at 
Suisun about forty miles south in the year 1841. 

At an early day one Berryessa obtained a grant of what 
is now known as Berryessa Valley, and his brother located 
a grant in what is now Yolo County, and is designated as 
the Eancho Canada de Capay or Capay Valley, which after- 
wards was purchased by Messrs. Arnold, Gillig & Kliodes. 
A man by the name of McDowell settled where Washington 
now stands in 1844 or 1845, and established a gunsmith 
shop, where he repaired guns for his neighhors until the dis- 
covery of gold. He was killed in a drinking saloon in Sac- 
ramento in 1849. 

We believe we have mentioned tlie names of all the actual 
settlers of the county previous to 1849 (though there were 
numbers of adventurers traveling through who temporarily 
sojourned with the settlers). Let us turn- our attention to 
their avocations. 

From the date of these first settlements until about the 
time of the discovery of gold, money was comparatively 
unknown to the stock-men and grantholders. The few 
heads of cattle that had been driven here had increased to 
herds of thousands. Elk had been slain by thousands, and 
their hides, which were worth four dollars each, prepared 
for market. Innumerable beavers were also captured, 
whose hides in barter were of the value of about six dol- 
lars each. The vast herds of cattle were watched and 
attended by Indians under a species of peonage, as they 
were forced away from their tribes and compelled to 'per- 
form these services, but received as a compensation about 
six dollars per month in whatever articles the employers 



HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 11 

could dispense with. There were no courts in the country, 
and none were needed, for there were no crimes committed- 
and no commercial contracts to be violated. What books the 
settlers had brought with them had been read and re-read 
until every page was memorized. Yery small patches of 
corn had been produced and ground in a hand-mill and 
prepared for food. Stockmen had imported some thorough- 
bred animals as early as 1844, for the purpose of improving 
their breeds. Mr. Gordon, in 1844, purchased two Berk- 
shire sows and their fiunilies, whoso increase amounted to 
large droves. He gave for the sows two fine horses, and 
before the gold discovery he sold from these a large num- 
ber of brood sows at one hundred dollars each. 

A short time previous to the discovery of gold, these 
scattered settlers had commenced a rapid accumulation of 
money. Their families were well clothed and well fed; 
their Indian serfs lived in luxury. No bar-room broils and 
gambling bickerings were known; no jails and penitentia- 
ries were required; no public hospital in which the poor 
were cared for, because there were no poor to be thus sup- 
ported; there were no disputes about landmarks and no 
neighborhood babblings. Peace and quiet reigned supreme. 
Why should not the people have been happy ? 

The reader may pause to imagine from what source these 
settlers had derived their surplus money — where was the 
market for the thousands of cattle, elk and beaver hides, we 
have mentioned? Whence came the thoroughbred cattle 
and swine ? How were the clothing arid provisions obtained 
that families possessed in such abundance ? We answer, 
hide-dealers or traders came regularly with their tradinp^ 
ships to San Francisco (where there were but two or three 
adobe houses in 1841); thence they would send out their 
ships' launches with cargoes up the streams and sloughs 
and exchange them for the produce of the country, ^ich as 
hides, furs, tallow and dried meat, and occasionally some 
live stock. . 

About the time these traders were expected (and they 
came very regularly), the slaughter of the herds began; 
hides were cured, tallow rendered and the meat dried. 
Then rude trucks or carts were loaded with the products 



12 THE WESTERN SHOEE GAZETTEER. 

and drawn by oxen to the rivers or sloughs, where the 
ships' launches could reach them, and there exchanges were 
effected. The nominal prices of the exports that they there 
obtained were about as follows : Cattle hides, two dollars ; 
elk hides, four dollars; beaver hides, six dollars; dried 
meats and tallow, ten cents per pound. For these the set- 
tlers received in exchange clothing of any desired quality, 
flour, rice, tobacco, sugar, tea, coffee, salt, spices, dried 
fruits, and, in short, everything in the line of clothing or 
provisions that their necessities required. 

After a few years the settlers were able to export more 
than enough to pay for their required imports, and the bal- 
ance they received in cash, and thus before the mines were 
discovered had commenced accumulating actual cash. 

We will here relate a few disconnected incidents, and 
then pass on to a later period in our history. In March, 
1847, a man by the name of Joseph Buzzle started in a 
canoe from Sutter's Fort, in Sacramento County, paddled 
his canoe across the Sacramento Eiver, across the country 
in the County of Yolo, and to the very door of Mr. Gor- 
don's dwelling, ten miles west of "Woodland — an incident 
destitute of interest to persons unacquainted with the coun- 
try, but of astounding interest to many of the present set- 
tlers. 

In June, 1846, the owners of the Eancho Canada de 
Capay had not yet asserted their rights thereto, and those 
few persons who were temporarily stopping in what is now 
Yolo County, had no knowledge of the claim. Mr. W. L. 
Todd, now a resident of the county, a William W. Eou- 
lette, with his wife, one G. J. Scott and his brother, W. 
W. Scott, built a cabin on that grant. We have said that 
Don Antonio Armijo was a grantholder at Suisun; he had 
produced a few acres of wheat, and as he had no means 
of harvesting it, except by cutting it by hand with" knives, 
he with a few men went to the cabin above referred to, 
stopped for the night, got Todd and Scott to reinforce his 
party — in all consisting of thirteen persons — and went to 
Grand Island to capture some Indians to harvest his wheat. 
When this, object was accomplished, on their return they 
stopped at Mr. Gordon's residence. At this time the war 



HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 13 

Avas raging between the United States and Mexico, but not 
a blow had yet been struck in California. 

General Vallejo was in command of a company of five 
Mexican soldiers at Sonoma. When Don Armijo 'arrived at 
Gordon's with his party, some of them were informed by 
him (Gordon) that Captain Merritt had started from the 
"Buttes," and on the following day would take 'Sonoma; 
but the rumor was withheld from Armijo, on account of his 
being a native-born Mexican citizen. The little party then 
went and joined Merritt at Sonoma; this was the first town 
captured from the Mexicans in California. 

In the capture of the place General M. C. Vallejo (sub- 
sequently a delegate to the State Constitutional Convention 
and member of the first Legislature of California), Captain 
Don Salvador Vallejo, Colonel Victor Pruden, Don Jacob 
P. Leese and Don Julio Carrello, were taken prisoners of 
war and sent to Sutter's Fort. On the fourteenth of June, 
1846, this little handful of men proclaimed California a free 
and independent republic, and on that day hoisted their 
flag, known as the "bear flag"; this consisted of a strip of 
worn-out cotton domestic, furnished by Mrs. Kelley, bor- 
dered with red flannel, furnished by Mrs. John Sears, who 
had fled from some distant part to Sonoma for safety, upon 
hearing of the war that had been thus commenced. In the 
center of the flag was a representation of a bear, en passant, 
painted with Venetian red, and in one corner was painted a 
star of the same color. Under the bear were inscribed the 
words " Eepublic of California," put on with common writ- 
ing ink. This flag is preserved by the California Pioneer 
Association, and may be seen at their rooms in San Fran- 
cisco. It was designed and executed by W. L. Todd. 

Subsequently, the American flag was substituted for the 
"Bear flag," William B. Ide was left in command of a lit- 
tle garrison to guard Sonoma, and most of the company went 
and joined Fremont, and with him went on to Lower Cal- 
ifornia. 

When, subsequently, the treaty of peace was made, where- 
by California was ceded to the United States, all the grant- 
holders acquiesced, and many, doubtless, inwardly rejoiced, 
but no outward demonstrations of joy were discoverable, 



14 THE -WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

and quiet was maintained amongst tlie people, out of re- 
spect to their neighbors of Mexican birth. 

When John C. Fremont was occupying California, about 
the year 1847, and Commodore Stockton was in the Terri- 
tory, one M. M. Wambough was paymaster, or otherwise 
had possession of Stockton's money, he professed to have 
been assailed, overcome and robbed, by a crowd of bandits. 
The money was gone, but Wambough returned, his hat hav- 
ing been pierced by many bullets. Subsequently, and after 
th;e organization of the State Government, application was 
made to the Legislature for relief, and the hat was brought 
before that body in proof of the robbery. It is said that 
the relief bill was about to pass, when the late David C. 
Broderick rose in his seat and holding the hat in his hand 
exclaimed : ' ' Had it not been for a miraculous intervention 
of Providence, the assailed must necessarily have lost his 
life" — pointing to a hole on one side of the hat and then 
upon the other side — "the bullet which entered here, passed 
there through the crown of the hat near the band, and, had 
not Providence caused the missile to curve over the top of 
his head, it must jiecessarily have passed through the cen- 
ter of the brain." The bill did not pass, and it was subse- 
quently shown that, soon after the supposed robber}^, 
Wambough had passed through Yolo and stayed over night 
with Mr. Gordon, and had attempted to exchange a large 
amount of silver for gold, rendering probable that the al- 
leged robbery was but a sham. We have not examined the 
legislative journals to ascertain whether any record of the 
affair has been preserved, and do not know to what extent 
this account may be relied on. W"e have related it as v/e 
received it. 

III. 

From 1848 to 1870. 

On the nineteenth day of January, 1848, John A. Sutter 
and his partner, James W. Marshall, were engaged in the 
construction of a saw -mill, on the south fork of the Ameri- 
can Biver, at a place now called Coloma, in El Dorado 
County, about forty-five miles eastward from where the 



HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 15 

City of Sacramento now stands. On tliat day Mr. Marshall, 
who yet resides at Goloma, was engaged in removing ob- 
structions from the mill-race, when he made the first dis- 
covery of gold in California of which we have any account. 
There was no mistaking the character of the mineral dis- 
covered. 

Mr. Marshall knew it to be gold. He very correctly 
judged that if the fact were revealed to his employees, that 
all other business would be abandoned for the pursuit of 
gold. He attempted to keep the discovery a secret, for a 
time, but it was found in too great abundance — the secret 
could not be kept. The intelligence was soon conveyed to 
the scattered inhabitants of the Territory of California, and 
then the gold excitement had fairly commenced. It is hardly 
probable that Mr. Marshall, on the morning of the nine- 
teenth of January, 1848, had ever imagined that he, on that 
day, was to be made the instrument that should revolution- 
ize the commercial world; that he should make a discovery 
that would be the direct cause of uniting the Atlantic and 
Pacific Oceans with bands of iron; that should, in time, 
be a commercial highway for all parts of the earth, popu- 
late three-fourths of the Continent, open a commerce with 
the Continent of Asia, with South America and the Islands 
of the Pacific, unprecedented with them; that should send 
to the American shores men of every clime, whose national 
characters and love of home, under any other imaginable 
circumstances, would have impelled them to remain in their 
native lands. But such was the fact. 

News of the wonderful discovery was carried, as if by 
magic, to all parts of the civilized world, and became the 
topic of conversation in every family and social circle, and 
the theme of speculation amongst capitalists and commer- 
cial men. 

The inhabitants of Yolo, from twenty-five to thirty in 
number, all went in search of gold, and these rich agricul- 
tural regions were depopulated. Discoveries followed each 
other in quick succession, until the vast fields of placer gold 
mines were developed. Merchants and speculators saw 
that the nearest points to the gold mines upon navigable 
streams would inevitably be the sites of future towns and 



16 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

cities, or, in other words, tliat tlie heads of navigation were 
the most feasible localities for furnishing supplies to the 
mining communities. 

For the supply of the rich placers on the American and 
its branches, the point where Sacramento City was located 
was the most accessible. In the same year the rich placers 
on Feather and Yuba rivers were developed, and fortunate 
indeed would be the man who should discover and secure 
the town site, most accessible to those mines, that could at 
the same time be reached by vessels of fair tonnage. At 
this time, as we have remarked, the few settlers of what is 
now Yolo County, had left for the mines. At a point on 
the Sacramento Biver, where the Feather Eiver empties into 
that stream, was the head of navigation. Here the Feather 
Biver was fordable. 

This was the nearest point to the mines of Feather Biver 
and the Yuba that could be reached by vessels of sufficient 
size to supply their wants. Here, on the Yolo side of the 
Sacramento, the land was high, and furnished an inviting 
locality for a town. As this place, which is now called 
Fremont, occupies a conspicuous place in the history of 
Yolo County, we shall speak of its settlement, of its pro- 
gress and final fall, with such incidents as are immediately 
connected therewith, without attempting, in the same con- 
nection, to keep in view other contemporaneous occur- 
rences of the county. 

1849. 

About the first of March, 1849, Mr. Jonas Spect freighted 
a small schooner with merchandise at San Francisco, and 
sailed for the head of navigation on the Sacramento, for 
the purpose of establishing a trading post, from which the 
mining communities on the head waters of that stream and 
on Feather and Yuba rivers and their tributaries, might 
obtain their supplies. He found that point on the Sacra- 
mento Biver, at the mouth of Feather Biver, and named 
the place Fremont. It was not without difficulty that this 
point was reached. He was about twenty days sailing from 
San Francisco to Sacramento. On the twentieth of that 
month, having arrived at the latter place, he started over- 



HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 17 

land, in advance of his vessel, and'on tlie twenty-first ar- 
rived at the point we have mentioned. On the next day 
the schooner arrived. The day following he, with his meiij 
built his business stand, composed partly of willows and 
in part of canvas brought for that purpose, in which his 
goods, wares and merchandise, were placed. And he, then 
the only inhabitant of Yolo County there, on the twenty- 
fifth day of March, 1849, in the tabernacle thus constructed, 
commenced the joint business of merchandising and hotel 
keeping. This trading post and hotel soon attracted not 
only the attention of the mining communities referred to, 
but of capitalists and speculators. 

There was every prospect of the town becoming a city 
second to none in importance in the interior of the embryo 
State of California. Before another building had been 
erected the place was visited by Samuel Brannan, William 
McD. Howard, Lieutenant Maynard, and hosts of others, 
who afterwards became notable Californians. It was confi- 
dently believed that Fremont would ever remain the head 
of navigation on the Sacramento Eiver, and that Feather 
Eiver would ever become navigable, was not dreamed of. 

Although the town-site was embraced within the ' ' Harbin 
Grantj" such estimate was placed upon the rights of Mr. 
Spect and Mr. T. B. Winston (the latter having become as- 
sociated with the former), that William McD. Howard, as 
agent for the firm of Melius, Howard & Co., visited Fre- 
mont and ofi'ered them one hundred and fifty thousand dol- 
lars in gold for their town-site privileges. Prior to the 
settlement of the town by Mr. Spect, a camp of Indians 
had located there, and the crossing of the Sacramento 
River was effected by the use of a skift' and some canoes. 
Wagons were crossed by placing an Indian canoe under 
each wheel, and then paddled across by the Indians. Feather 
Eiver was then f ordable at its mouth ; teamsters and packers 
could take their supplies thence on either side to the mines. 

The first material augmentation of population was by an 
emigration from Oregon, headed by a Mr. John E. Bradley, 
now a resident of Santa Clara, a Cumberland Presbyterian 
preacher, who preached to the new settlement regularly for 
several weeks. Families came across the plains and located 
2

there. In July, 1849, a* corps of civil engineers arrived 
from the State of Louisana, amongst whom was William J. 
Frieson, a native of South Carolina, now a resident and 
flourishing farmer of this county, residing near Knight's 
Landing. During this season large immigrations arrived 
from the Atlantic States; Fremont continued to grow in 
importance; mercantile houses were becoming plentiful; 
drinking saloons were established; gambling houses were 
abundant; and, though there were no courts, no Territorial, 
State or County, organizations, the legal profession had its 
representative there, who advertised to attend to the duties 
of his profession — C. P. Hester, Esq. — who since has been 
Judge of the District Court of the Third Judicial District. 
Dr. E. W. Murphy, now of Sacramento City, was the first 
to commence the practice of medicine. 

Early in the spring of 1849, Miss Matilda McCord, of Bloom- 
ington, Indiana, opened the first school. The first regu- 
lar church was established by Rev. Isaac Owen, a missionary 
preacher from Indiana. On the twenty-second of February, 
1849, the whaling ship William Henry sailed from New 
Bedford, Massachusetts, having on board two buildings 
and a cargo of goods belonging to a company of thirty men. 
In September, 1849, they arrived in San Francisco. Apart 
of the company, with a supply of the goods and one of the 
buildings, were sent to Fremont; they purchased a town 
lot for one thousand dollars and erected the building, and 
commenced business. C. H. Gray (for several years Sheriff 
of the county) and H. B. Wood, now partners in the hard- 
ware business in Woodland, were members of this company. 
Six of the company died with the cholera in 1850, at Beni- 
cia. All trace of the remainder of them is lost. 

About this time a ship arrived at Fremont from Bangor, 
Maine, having on board the steamer Governor Dana and a 
large cargo of goods. The company erected an extensive 
mercantile house, and placed it under the supervision of the 
late Henry Hare Hartley, subsequently County Judge, and 
at a later day a candidate for Justice of the Supreme Court. 

In October, 1849, a company of Government troops, with 
a supply train, passed through the j)lace on their way to 
Benicia. One of the soldiers entered a gambling saloon, 



HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 19 

became intoxicated and somewliat abusive, and was killed 
by a gambler. This was the first homicide committed in 
Yolo County. The gambler was not arrested, and no par- 
ticular excitement arose from the transaction. 

The town of Fremont now contained a population esti- 
mated by some as high as three thousand, though this is 
probably an over-estimate. Among those who were resi- 
dents there, and who have since become generally, known 
throughout the State, may be mentioned the late Humphrey 
Griffith; the late H. H Hartley, already mentioned; Charles 
F. Reed, late candidate for Surveyor-General, and I. N. 
Hoag, Esq., long Secretary of the State Agricultural Soci- 
ety. It will be remembered that, up to the time referred 
to, there was no State Government, and, of course, no 
county organization. 

After the treaty with Mexico, by which this State was 
ceded to the United States, the Commanding General of the 
Department — Brigadier-General Eiley — in accordance with 
instructions from the Secretary of War, by authority of the 
President of the United States, became the Governor of 
the State, for the purpose of administering its civil affairs. 
It is an established principle that, when territory is acquired 
by a foreign power, the laws of the Government from which 
it is acquired remain in force until other laws are enacted 
by the Government acquiring such territory; hence the laws 
of Mexico were those in force in this country until the ma- 
chinery of our own civil jurisprudence should be put in 
operation. Under the laws referred to the State was di- 
vided into ten districts, one of which was denominated the 
Sonoma District, and embraced all that part of the State 
bounded by the sea, the Bay of San Francisco and Suisun, 
the Sacramento Eiver and Oregon, and, of course, included 
Yolo County. 

The principal officers in each of these districts were a 
Prefect and sub-Prefects, who were charged with the preser- 
vation of public order and the execution of the laws. Their 
duties, to some extent, corresponded with the duties of 
Sheriffs and Marshals, a Judge of the First Instance and a 
District Alcalde. This system of government could not 
long remain in a land then being rapidly populated with

American citizens. On tlie third of June, 1849, General 
Biley issued a proclamation calling a Convention, to meet 
at Monterey on tlie first day of September, to frame a State 
Constitution. By that proclamation it was proiaded that 
the Convention should consist of thirty-seven delegates, four 
of whom should be chosen from the Sonoma District. Elec- 
tions were to be held for that purpose on the first day of 
August, at sixteen designated places in the State, as fol- 
lows : San Diego, San Juan Capistrano, Los Angeles, San 
Fernando, San Buenaventura, Santa Barbara, Nepoma, San 
Luis Obispo, Monterey, San Juan Baptiste, Santa Cruz, 
San Jos6 de Guadalupe, San Francisco, San Rafael, Bodega, 
Sonoma and Benicia. 

The elections were held, and the Convention met in pur- 
suance of the proclamation, and completed its labors on 
the thirteenth of October. The delegates in that Conven- 
tion, from the Sonoma District, were J. Walker, il. Semple, 
L. W. Boggs and M. G. Vallejo. 

Immediately thereafter, by proclamation of Governor 
Biley, an election was called for the fifteenth of November, 
to vote upon the adoption of the Constitution and the elec- 
tion of officers, in pursuance of its provisions. This proc- 
lamation designated as the places for holding said election 
the same as those mentioned for the election of delegates 
to the Constitutional Convention ; but the fast young town 
of Fremont was not content to have the election pass with- 
out letting its voice be heard. Accordingly, on election 
morning, the polls were opened at that place, and there 
were nearly twice as many votes cast as in all the rest of 
the Sonoma District; but the votes were not finally esti- 
mated. The members of the Legislature then elected con- 
vened on the fifteenth day of December, 1849, and then 
organized the first Legislature of the State of California. 

At this session of the Legislature, the Sonoma District 
was represented in the Assembly by J. E. Brackett and J. 
S. Bradford, and in the Senate, we believe, by Jonas Spect 
and M. G. Vallejo; but, upon this point, we do not speak 
with certainty, having no documents at hand from which 
we can satisfactorily determine the facts. 

At this session of the Legislature, Yolo County was given 



^

an existence and a name. And here we may observe to tlie 
curious that " Yolo" and " Tulare" have the same origin, 
and are identical in meaning. Members of the first Legis- 
lature probably knew but little about Yolo County, except 
that portion bordering on the river, abounding in "tules," 
expressed by the Spanish word " tulare" or " tular" — this 
word the Indians had corrupted to "yolar." Accordingly, 
when the county was organized by an Act of the Legisla- 
ture, passed February 18th, 1850, it was organized under 
the name of ^' Yolii," (statutes of 1850, page 61), but we 
have not learned h(>w it happened afterwards to be written 
Yolo. 

By the Act organizing the County of " Yolii," the county 
seat was established at Fremont. The legislative Acts "of 
the first session, having direct effect upon Yolo County, 
were as follows : By Act of March 16th, dividing the State 
into Judicial Districts, it provided that the Eighth District 
should be composed of the counties of Yolo, Sutter and 
Yuba. The first term of this court for Yolo County was 
held at Fremont, on the second day of September, 1850, 
W. E. Turner, District Judge. The first case upon the 
calendar is an indictment against Emma Place. The Dis- 
trict Attorney stated that the witnesses could not be found, 
and the court, upon its own motion, ordered the case dis- 
missed. The first case upon the civil docket was Austin & 
Johnson against Couwillard and others. The last term of 
the District Court held in this county by Judge Turner was 
on the second day of October, 1850, for the reason that the 
State was soon after re-districted, as we shall presently see. 

By an Act passed xipril 4th, 1850, dividing the State into 
Senatorial Districts, it was provided that the Eleventh Dis- 
trict should be composed of Yolo, Marin, Sonoma, Napa, 
Solano, Mendocino, Colusa and Trinity, and should elect 
one Senator, and that Yolo, Colusa and Trinity combined, 
should elect one member of Assembly. 

By an Act of March 2d, 1850, it was provided that an 
election should be held on the first Monday of April in 
each of the counties of the State, for the purpose of elect- 
ing county officers. Of this election the county records 
aftbrd us no information; but, from court records of that 



22 THE WESTEEN SHOEE GAZETTEEK. 

year, we learn that Judge G. A. Marguam, now of Port- 
land, Oregon, was elected County Judge, and B. Frank 
Brown, County Clerk. 

The Legislature then in session passed an Act, April 13th, 
1850, establishing the County Courts; provided that the 
terms of said courts should be held in the months of Jan- 
uary, April, July and October; also providing for the es- 
tablishment of Courts of Sessions in each county, composed 
of the County Judge and two Justices of the Peace, which 
courts should hold their terms on the first Mondays of Feb- 
ruary, April, June, August, October and December, of each 
year. Accordingly, on the first Monday of June, the Court 
of Sessions met in the town of Fremont, for the transaction 
of business. There was nothing, however, of importance 
came before the court at that session. Henry H. Hartley 
was admitted to the bar as Attorney and Counselor at Law; 
P. A. Marguam was the Judge of the court; Ferdinand 
Woodward and Levi B. Austin, Associate Justices, and B. 
Frank Brown, County Clerk. The court met again in 
August, the same officers being present. 

Let it be born in mind that the Judge of the Court of 
Sessions was also the County Judge. At this August term 
the Court of Sessions fixed the salary of the County Judge 
at four thousand dollars per annum ; granted a ferry license, 
and a license to H. H, Hartley to act as auctioneer in Yolo 
County, and adjourned. This court met again in Novem- 
ber, the last term for 1850, and appointed G. M. Keene as 
County Treasurer, who was the first Treasurer, of the coun- 
ty, so far as we have been able to learn. The County Court 
met in July, 1850, Marguam being present as Judge and 
B. F. Brown as Clerk. The calendar was called, consisting 
of two cases, one of which was tried and the other dis- 
missed. The court met again in October, but, having no 
busines before it, adjourned. This constituted all the busi- 
ness of the County Court for the year 1850. 

A law was passed on the sixteenth of April, 1850, as fol- 
lows: " Every person who shall feloniously steal, take and 
carry, lead or drive away, the personal goods or property of 
another, of the value of fifty dollars or more, shall be 
deemed guilty of grand larceny, and, upon conviction there- 



HISTOEY OF YOLO COUNTY. 23 

of, shall be punished by imprisonment in the State Prison 
for any term not less than one year nor more than ten years, 
or by death, in the discretion of the jury.'' A somewhat 
startling story is told of a conviction, under the provisions 
of this law, in Yolo County. It is said (though not re- 
corded) that John C. Murphy, late Judge of Mono County, 
then a resident of Yolo, was driving a mule-team in the 
winter following, and got " stalled " in the mud. He chanced 
to be near a corral of horses running loose, two of which 
he caught, harnessed and attached to his team, to assist him 
out of the difficulty. The horses chanced to be the prop- 
erty of a Justice of the Peace, who arrived in time to catch 
Murphy ' ' in the very act. " He immediately issued a war- 
rant and placed it in the hands of a Constable for Murphy's 
arrest. The prisoner was brought into court and demanded 
a jury trial; but the " court" decided that the province of 
the jury was only to determine the guilt or innocence of the 
party, and of the court to pronounce the sentence; and, in 
this instance, the " court" knew of his own knowledge that 
the prisoner was guilty, therefore a jury was unnecessary. 
The "court " then ordered the Constable to take the pris- 
oner to some convenient place and execute him without 
delay. As the sentence was about to be carried into effect, 
Mr. A. McDonald, subsequently a prominent man in the 
county, arrived at the scene of action, and prevented the 
execution. Whether this story is all true, or founded in 
fact, or all false, we have no knowledge; we give it as it 
was given to us by one of Murphy's personal friends, who 
professed to give us a true version of the affair. 

Let us now turn our attention to the commercial and busi- 
ness aspects of the county. The heavy floods of the pre- 
vious winter had washed the bar from the mouth of Feather 
River, and made that stream navigable to the point where 
the City of Marysville is now located, and opened up navi- 
gation of the Sacramento for more than a hundred miles 
above. This demonstrated the fact that Fremont could not 
become a great inland commercial metropolis. Mining 
communities immediately discontinued obtaining their sup- 
plies from this place, and the town commenced to decline. 
Still, hopes were entertained that the place might continue 



24 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

of considerable importance for retail business, but eacli 
day weakened tliose hopes, and it soon became apparent 
tliat Fremont was doomed unless it should remain the county 
seat. 

In the meantime, quite a settlement had been made at 
Washington, and the intelior of the county for grazing and 
stock-raising began to attract some attention. Yet the pop- 
ulation of the county, by the removals from Fremont, was 
materially diminished in numbers, so that, in the fall of 
1850, a correspondent of a New York paper had ranked 
Yolo County amongst the barren, worthless sections of the 
State, it being then believed that no considerable portion 
of the State could be made available for agricultural pur- 
poses. 

1851. 

The Legislature again convened, on the first Monday of 
January, 1851. The Eleventh Senatorial District, consist- 
ing of the counties of Yolo, Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, 
Mendocino, Colusa and Trinity, was represented in the Sen- 
ate by Martin E. Cooke, and the counties of Yolo, Colusa 
and Trinity, constituting one Assembly District, was repre- 
sented in that body by George W. .Crane. An election was 
held in Yolo County on the twenty-fifth day of March, 1851, 
at which a re-location of the county seat was to be deter- 
mined, by a vote of the qualified electors under the pro- 
visions of an Act of the previous session. The result of 
the election showed a majority in favor of establishing the 
county seat at Washington. 

Four weeks subsequent to the election, an Act was passed 
in which it was declared that Fremont should be the county 
seat. On the eleventh of March, the Judicial Districts, by 
legislative action, were re-arranged. By this Act it was 
provided that the counties of Yolo, Placer and El Dorado, 
should constitute the Eleventh Judicial District. By an 
Act, passed May 1st, it was provided that the counties of 
Yolo and Colusa should constitute the Twenty-first Senato- 
rial District, and should elect one Senator and each one 
member of the Assembly. 

On the twenty-fourth of March, 1851, G. M. Keene hav- 
ing resigned the oJ0S.ce of County Treasurer, H. H. Hartley 



HISTOKY OF YOLO COUNTY. 25 

was appointed by the Court of Sessions to fill the vacancy, 
and Humphrey Griffith, Esq., was appointed County Assess- 
or. By an Act of the Legislature, passed March 23d, 1850, 
it was provided that: " Whenever a special election is nec- 
essary to fill a vacancy in any county or township office, the 
County Judge shall issue an order for such election, desig- 
nating the office to be filled and the time of holding the 
election, and shall publish the same in the manner required 
by the sixth section of this Act." Those who had held the 
county offices in this county, in the spring of 1851, all ap- 
peared to have left or resigned ; and, since it is certain that 
no general election was then held in the State, we may per- 
haps safely presume that a special election was held under 
that statute; for, early in that season, we find E. A. Harris 
officiating as Sheriff; G. M. Keene, the former Treasurer, 
as District Attorney, and H. H. Hartley as County Judge. 
On the tv\'enty-second of May, 1851, the Court of Sessions 
being open, made an order as follows: "It is ordered by 
the court that the Seat of Justice of this county shall be at 
Fremont — the Legislature of the State of California having, 
on the twenty-fifth of April, 1851, passed a law to that 
effect, which law, having been passed subsequent to the 
election held on the twenty-fifth of March, 1851, for the re- 
moval of the county seat of said county, annuls said elec- 
tion." 

Notwithstanding this order, for some cause there was 
never another term of court held at Fremont after July of 
that year. And the first session of that court was held at 
Washington, on the eleventh of August following. Hum- 
phrey Griffith was appointed County Clerk by the Court of 
Sessions, in July, 1851, and continued to hold that position 
until December, 1853, having been elected at the expiration 
of the unexpired term. 

During this year permanent settlement began to be made 
on the farming lands of the county, with a view of raising 
stock, but no attention was yet given to the cultivation of 
the soil. The first settlement of note was that made by A. 
H. Willard, on a portion of the Gordon Grant. Settlements 
were also made at Knight's Landing and at other places, 
and much attention began to be given to the production of 



26 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

cattle. The town of Fremont went down. Some of the 
buildings were moved to Knight's Landing, some to Marys- 
ville, some to Sacramento, and some onto the plains. The 
inhabitants abandoned their city lots and dispersed, and 
nothing remained of the town of Fremont but the name. 

1852. 

In the Legislature that convened in January, 1852, Yolo 
County was represented in the Assembly by John G. Parish, 
in the Senate by Martin E, Cooke. The counties of Yolo 
and Colusa constituted one Senatorial District. 

It was in 1852 that H. H. Hartley was elected County 
Judge; H. Griffith, County Clerk; E. A. Harris, Sheriff, 
and Alexander Chisholm, Treasurer. John M. Howell was 
elected District Judge for the Eleventh Judicial District, 
composed of the counties of Yolo, Placer and El Dorado. 
But, of course, the latter did not enter upon the duties of 
his office until the commencement of the following year. 

There was nothing occurred during the year in the gov- 
ernmental affairs of the county requiring special attention. 
The agricultural lands continued to be settled, and yet but 
little attention was paid to the production of cereals. The 
settlements were materially retarded, in consequence of the 
extensive Spanish grants — some real and some fictitious — 
that covered a large portion of the lands of the county that 
were valuable, either for grazing or cultivation. These led 
to troublesome and expensive litigations, and were the 
source of constant turmoils and troubles. 

Those who had settled here previous to the discovery of 
gold in the county, had encouraged an increase of their 
herds, and the plains were literally covered with cattle. 
Many new-comers had settled here, and it is said to have 
been remarkable with what rapidity their herds increased. 
A story is told of one settler, for the strict truthfulness of 
which we are not entirely willing to vouch; but it is said 
that, when he settled, he had barely means to purchase a 
single ox; that he had no visible means of support except 
from the increase of his stock; but so incredibly prolific 
was the animal that, in a little more than one year, the in- 



HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 27 

crease amounted to several hundred head of yearlings and 
calves. 

A man by the name of James had settled near the foot- 
hills, whose stock increased so rapidly that other stock- 
growers became so incensed against him, that they arrested 
him and brought him to trial before Judge Lynch. He was 
found guilty, as charged, and sentenced to receive fifty 
lashes of a cowhide on his bare back, and to banishment 
from the county; he received the lashes and left the country, 
and has not been heard from since ! 

Our history would not be complete if we failed to notice 
transactions in courts of Justices of the Peace as well as in 
courts of more general jurisdiction; but, as Justice's courts 
are not deemed, in law, courts of record, the only means of 
knowledge of their transactions is hearsay, and such evi- 
dence, if admissible, not being sufficient to convict, we give 
it to the reader for what it is worth. A Justice of the 
Peace, of good standing in the county, at the time of which 
we are writing, had a case before him in which the title to a 
certain mule was involved. The Justice very dignifiedly 
informed the plaintiff if he would swear the mule was his, 
it should be so adjudged and taken from the defendant and 
delivered to him. " Well,'' said the plaintiff, "I will swear 
that it is my mule." "When you swear to the mule," said 
the Justice, " it shall be delivered to you." "I am ready 
noio to swear to its being my mule." "When you do so 
swear," said the Justice, "you shall take the mule." " Ibe 
damned if it ain't my mule," said the plaintiff, "and by G — d 
I am going to have him." The court considered the 
evidence sufficient, and adjudged accordingly. 

1853. 

In the Legislature that convened in January, 1853, Yolo 
County was represented in the Assembly by Mr. Caldwell, 
and in the Senate the District of Yolo and Colusa was rep- 
resented by M. M. Wambough. At the commencement of 
the year J. M. Howard entered upon the duties of his office 
as Judge of the District Coui't. 

During the session of the Legislature, May 18th, 1853, 



28 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

an Act was passed re-districting the State, in wliich it was 
provided that Yolo, Solano and Napa, should constitute the 
Tenth Senatorial District. The county officers remained 
the same as the year before; but at the election held in 
September, Harrison Gwinn, now a flourishing farmer re- 
siding near Knight's Landing, was elected County Judge to 
succeed Judge Hartley, E. H. Baskett was elected as Clerk 
to succeed H. Griffith, and J. W. Gish was elected Sheriff, 
and H. Meredith District Attorney; all of whom com- 
menced their official duties the March following. 

During this year the settlement of the county was more 
rapid than formerly, and some attention began to be given 
to the cultivation of the soil, the planting of some small 
vineyards and orchards, and the fencing of farms. The 
soil was found to be of almost unequaled fertility, but from 
the scarcity of fencing material and high prices of lumber, 
and the fact of the county being overrun with herds of 
cattle and hogs, the production of grain was not deemed a 
very lucrative avocation, especially when the expense of 
improvements were taken into consideration. 

1854. 

In the Legislature that convened in January, 1854, the 
county was represented in the Assembly by Humphrey 
Griffith, whose term as County Clerk had just expired, and 
the Tenth Senatorial District, comj)osed of the counties of 
Yolo, Solano and Napa, was represented in the Senate by 
Senate by E. McGarry. 

On the sixth of February of this year. Judge Hartley held 
his last term of court as County Judge of this county. It 
was ascertained that Alexander Chisholm, former Treas- 
urer, was defaulter in a large sum of money, and on the 
twelfth of August the Grand Jury of the county presented 
a bill against him for fraudulently retaining the money; 
but the funds were never recovered, and Chisholm was not 
convicted of any offense. His bonds were declared for- 
feited. 

1855. 

In the Legislature of 1855, Yolo County was represented 
in the Assembly by J. H. Updergraff, and Mr. E. McGarry 



HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 29 

continued to represent tlie counties of Yolo, Napa and 
Solano, in the Senate. 

The county officers remained the same as the previous 
year; but at the general election in September, A. McDon- 
ald was elected County Clerk; George Bell, Sheriff; W. N. 
Brooks, Treasurer, and F. Woodward District Attorney. 

The Legislature passed an Act, May 7th, 1855, authoriz- 
ing the qualified voters of the county, at the general elec- 
tion to be held in September, to determine by a majority 
vote upon some j)oint as a permanent place for the county 
seat. The contest was chiefly between Washington and 
Knight's Landing. It w^as a close and excited election, but 
the result was in favor of Washington. 

During this year the agricultural interests of the county 
were greatly increased, and wheat and barley commenced 
to be raised in considerable quantities as staples, but the 
scarcity of timber for fencing rendered it difficult and ex- 
pensive to protect the growing crops against the encroach- 
ments of the herds of cattle and hogs running at large 
through the country and prevented very extensive grain- 
growing operations. People began to conceive that there 
was a conflict of interest between the grain producers and 
cattle growers; and the still unsettled condition of the 
grant-lands rendered titles through the county uncertain, 
and it, of course, was not settled so rapidly as it otherwise 
would have been. 

1856. 

In the Legislature that met in 1856, Yolo County was 
represented in the Assembly by E. Bynum, the present 
County Clerk, and in the Senate by his brother, S. Bynum. 
E. Bynum was elected on what was known as the Demo- 
cratic ticket, and S. Bynum on the ticket designated as the 
Know-Nothing or Native American. The contest for one 
or two years between those two political organizations had 
been very close, but the latter fti the ascendancy. E. By- 
num was the only candidate elected on his ticket. The 
county officers chosen at the general election in 1855, at 
the proper time assumed their official duties; but during 
the year the sureties upon the Sherift^'s bond became dis- 



30 THE WESTEEN SHOEE GAZETTEEE. 

satisfied witli the manner in wliicli lie performed, or 
neglected to perform, his duties, took steps to witlidraAV 
their signatures from the bond, and Sheriff Bell being 
unable to obtain new sureties, the office became vacant, and 
F. G. Kussel, now of Buckeye, was appointed to fill the 
vacancy, which position he held until the expiration of the 
term. 

On the first of March the Legislature passed an Act as 
follows: "John Yanarnam, of Washington, Yolo County, is 
hereby released from any and all liabilities incurred by 
him as surety on the official bond of Alexander Chisholm, 
late County Treasurer of Yolo County, and is hereby fully 
discharged from any and all judgments recovered against 
him upon said official bond. 

It was a rule of the District Court in this county, up to 
this time, to set days for hearing and determining motions 
and demurrers, and on those days the roll of attorneys was 
called at the opening of the court. It may not be uninter- 
esting to those who were in the habit of attending the 
courts at that time, and to attorneys at the present time, 
to give here a roll, as it was called in 1856, as follows: 
P. L. Edwards, W. Pv. Cantwell, H. H. Hartley, H. Grif- 
fith, Henry C. Meredith, Horace Smith, Samuel Euland, 
James C. Goods, Ferdinand "Woodward, William S. Long, 
John Heard, W. C. Wallace, B. F. Ankeny, George PI. H. 
Carter, G. W. Bowie, J. H. Gass, J. G. Hyer. Of these, 
P. L. Edwards, H. H. Hartley, H. Griffith, Henry C. 
Meredith, Horace Smith, George H. Carter, B. F. Ankeny 
and John G. Hyer, are now deceased. W. E. Cantwell, 
J. C. Goods, F. Woodward and John Heard, now reside in 
Sacramento; Bowie resides in San Francisco; Wallace is 
Judge of the Seventh Judicial District; Euland resides in 
Woodland; Gass broke Sacramento jail and left for parts 
unknown — further particulars of which may be mentioned 
if we ever have occasion to compile a history of Sacramento 
County. 

1857. 

In the year 1857 Yolo was represented in the Assembly 
by Dr. J. S. Curtis, and by S. Bynum in the Senate. 



HISTOEY OF YOLO COUNTY. 31 

Some years previous to this, James A. Hutton, a worthy 
and enterprising citizen, had settled on the north side of 
Cache Creek and there made himself a comfortable home; 
had erected a dwelling-house large enough to accommodate 
guests, and it soon became not only tile home of Mr. 
Hutton and his family, but the " traveler's home," and was 
designated through the county as " Hutton's Kanch." A 
post-office was established by the name of Yolo Post-office. 

The Legislature passed an Act, on the twenty-fifth of 
March, providing that from and after the first day of June 
1857, the county seat of the County of Yolo should be and 
thereby was changed from the Toivn of Washington to a 
place on Cache Creek before that time known as Hutton's, 
but which should be thereafter known as Cache ville. In 
May the books, papers, maps, records, etc., belonging to 
the county were transferred to the new county seat. It 
was in the midst of the richest agricultural lands in the 
State, pleasantly situated on Cache Creek, interspersed 
with oaks of the largest growth, and was really one of the 
most attractive places in the county. A town was laid off, 
surveyed into lots and blocks which were rapidly disposed 
of, and the town exhibited signs of permanent prosperity. 
This ever should have remained the county seat; but we 
shall see that such was not its destiny. 

The first birth that occurred at Cacheville was the Yolo 
Democrat, a small, weakly — weekly — journal, that was born 
almost to blush unseen; for a newspaper could not yet be 
supported in so sparsely settled a county as was Yolo County. 
Of the merits of the paper we know nothing, but only 
know that it shared the fate of most journals established 
under like circumstances. It lived to see its second birth- 
day, just began to speak understandingiy, then died and 
was biu'ied. 

The terms of the county officers elected two years before, 
of course, were now about to expire; and H. Gwinn's four- 
year term as County Judge was also about to close. 

At the general election in September, Isaac Davis was 
elected as County Judge; the Rev. J. N. Pendegast, County 
Clerk; James L. Cox, Sheriff; William H. McGrew, Dis- 



32 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

trict Attorney, and W. N. Brooks was re-elected County 
Treasurer. 

1858. 

In 1858 tlie Senatorial District, composed of Yolo, Napa 
and Solano, was represented in the Senate by Humphrey 
GrijSith, and Yolo County was represented in the Assembly 
by William Minis, the present State Senator for this dis- 
trict. The county officers elected in 1857 entered upon their 
duties at the time appointed by law. The term of John M. 
Howell, the second District Judge for the Eleventh Judi- 
cial District, composed of the counties of Yolo, Placer and 
El Dorado, was now about to expire, and at the general 
election, held in September, B. F. Myers was elected Judge 
of that district, and at the close of the year commenced his 
official duties. 

1859. 

In 1859 Yolo County was represented in the Assembly by 
Harrison Gwinn, who had the year previously left the 
County Judge's bench, and the Tenth Senatorial District 
continued to be represented by H. Griffith. At the general 
election of this year, J. T. Daly was elected County Clerk; 
James A. Douglas, Sheriff; J. W. Jacobs, District Attorney, 
and W. N. Brooks was reelected County Treasurer. In 
November or December of this year, some parties discov- 
ered gold in considerable quantities in several gulches 
emptying into Putah Creek, in the southwest part of the 
county. A sufficient supply of water could not be obtained 
to work the mines to advantage, and not sufficient to work 
them at all, except whilst it was raining. There is no 
stream that can be conducted to the head of these gulches 
and made available for washing gold there found. After 
the discovery, miners from different parts came to the newty- 
discovered gold-field, and found the gold in such quantities 
as to afford them very fair wages — sometimes making as 
high as eight dollars per day with the old-fashioned rocker. 
Several hundred miners congregated there with their equip- 
age, and remained until the rains of that season had ceased. 
No attention has been paid to the workings of the mines

there since, yet, it is almost certain that, if means could be 
devised by which water could be obtained without great 
expense, in sufficient quantities to wash the earth by means 
of sluices or hydraulic power, as it is called, large fortunes 
might be taken from these ravines. 

During that year Mr. James Lowe, a resident of Yolo 
County, crossed the Sacramento Eiver into Sutter County, 
and "jumped" a farm belonging to a German, whose name 
we have now forgotten. The German secreted himself in 
ambush and shot Lowe, killing him instantly. An arrest 
was made; the German was tried and acquitted, and subse- 
quently was drowned in the Sacramento River while in a 
state of intoxication. 

1860. 
Li 1860, Harrison Gwinn, having been reelected, contin- 
ued to represent Yolo County in the Assembly, and Henry 
Edgerton, then of Napa, now of Sacramento City, repre- 
sented the district in the Senate. The county offices were 
filled by the officials who were elected at the last general 
election. 

1861. 

Li 1861, Yolo was represented in the Assembly by W. S. 
Woo(i, and the district in the Senate by Henry Edgerton. 
At this session of the Legislature, an Act was passed and 
approved March 15th, again establishing the county seat 
at Washington. Accordingly, in July of that year, the 
records and papers belonging to the county were again 
transferred to that place. An Act was also passed re-di- 
viding the State into Senatorial Districts, in which it was 
provided that the counties of Yolo and Solano should con- 
stitute the Seventeenth Senatorial District. 

W. S. Eavely gathered together the dry remains of the 
Yolo Democrat, that had been published at Cacheville, trans- 
ferred them to Knight's Landing, and with the material es- 
tablished a small paper, entitled the Knighfs Landing Neivs. 
At the general election, held in September, John B. Smith 
was elected County Judge; E. Giddings, County Clerk; 
Charles H. Gray, Sheriff; Charles W. Reed, Treasurer, and 
H. P. Hamblin, District Attorney.

In the summer of this year a homicide was committed in 
this county by a man named George Doane. One Samuel 
Fellows, it appears, had been guilty of making criminal 
advances to Doane's wife. When the fact came to the 
knowledge of Doane, he immediately sought Fellows and 
killed him with a single stroke from the butt of a horse- 
whip. Doane was arrested and held to bail, but the Grand 
Jury never found a bill against him. 

1862. 

Yolo was represented in the Assembly, in 1862, by I. N. 
Hoag, and the Senatorial District by O. B. Powers, now 
County Judge of Solano County. John B. Smith, the 
County Judge elect, failed to qualify, and I. N. Hoag was 
appointed by the Governor to fill that office until the gen- 
eral election of 1862. The remainder of the county officers 
entered upon their duties at the time appointed by law. 

An Act was passed on the nineteenth of April, attaching 
Yolo County to the Sixth Judicial District, whereupon J. H. 
McKune, Judge of that district, entered upon the duties of 
District Judge for Yolo County. 

In 1855, one James McClure and James McClure, Junior, 
built a small blacksmith shop about four and a half "miles 
southeast from where Cacheville was subsequently built, and 
commenced the business of blacksmithing. During the 
same year one Henry Wyckoff put up a small building near 
this shop, and commenced merchandising on a small scale. 
In October, of the next year, E. R. Moses, now a resident of 
Woodland, was permitted by the proprietors of said black- 
smith shop to occupy a portion of it for wood work. In 
1857, he and his brother, A. C. Moses, purchased the shop, 
and therein built a number of threshing machines, which 
were sold in the community. This purchase, however, was 
not made until after the elder McClure had sold his interest 
in the shop to Joseph Wolgamot, and business had been 
carried on for a time in the name of Wolgamot & McClure. 
During the summer a gambling and whisky shop, made of 
canvas, was started by a man known by the not very 
euphonious name of "By Hell." He was indicted by the 



HISTOEY OF YOLO COUNTY. 35 

Grand Jury, and left for parts unknown. Tlie same year, 
1857, a division of tlie " Sons of Temperance" was organ- 
ized by tlie community around, and a school-house was 
built near the shop, to which a second story was added and 
occupied as a hall by the " Sons of Temperance " and as a 
Masonic Lodge. In the fall our enterprising citizen, F. S. 
Freeman, purchased the little store built by Mr. Wyckoff, 
and stocked it with goods, and this little neighborhood took 
the name of Yolo City. In 1858 a post-office was estab- 
lished here by that name, and F. S. Freeman was appointed 
post-master, who purchased of the Government the land 
upon which the few buildings, except the school-house, were 
located, near the southwest corner of which a whisky-shop 
was established, where laboring men from the neighboring 
farms occasionally congregated and played cards for liquor. 
On one of these occasions, one William Harbin and one 
Frank Wright had been engaged at playing when a dispute 
arose between them as to the number of games that had 
been lost, whereupon the former drew a knife and stabbed 
the latter, killing him almost instantly. Harbin made his 
escape and was never arrested. 

In the autumn of 1860, there resided, about one mile 
southwest from Freeman's store and Moses' shop, the Rev- 
erend J. N. Pendegast, and about three miles southwest 
from his place the Reverend J. Lawson — both quite noted 
pastors of the Christian Church — who, by their energy and 
influence, succeeded in enlisting the interests of that organ- 
ization to an extent to induce the building of an institution 
known as the Hesperian College — a more perfect history of 
which will be found under another head in this volume. 
The few buildings we have mentioned comprised the whole 
or nearly the whole of Yolo City until 1862. 

On the thirteenth of March, 1862, an Act was passed, 
providing that, on the twenty-first day of April, 1862, an 
election should be held in the County of Yolo to locate and 
establish the county seat of said county, and to determine, 
by a majority of all the votes cast at said election, whether 
the said county seat should be and remain at the town of 
Washington, or be removed to the town of Woodland, com- 
monly called Yolo City. 



36 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

Seldom haA^e elections been more vigorously contested 
than was this; sectional prejudices arose in different parts 
of the county which have not now, after a lapse of eight 
years, been wholly healed. The result of the election was 
to establish the county seat at Woodland. This place is 
situated near the geographical center of the county, in the 
midst of a rich agricultural community. Of its advantages, 
social relations, growth, prosperity and present flourishing 
condition, the reader is referred to other parts of this vol- 
ume. At the general election in 1862, H. Griffith and L. R. 
Hopkins were the opposing candidates for County Judge, 
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the failure of Smith to 
qualify. L. E. Hopkins was the successful candidate, and 
entered upon the duties of his office in December. The 
election was conducted with vigor, but in a friendly spirit. 
Both candidates had warm, personal friends; both were 
amply qualified for the position. H. Griffith died the May 
following, and L. E. Hopkins, as Probate Judge, issued 
letters testamentary upon his estate, and in two months 
afterwards Judge Hopkins also died. 

Early in 1862, a man was killed, by the name of Jacob 
Byhard, whilst attempting to get unlawful possession of a 
farm, the particulars of which we have not learned, but 
only know that there was no conviction for the offense. 

1863. 

In the Legislature of 1863, Yolo was represented in the 
Assembly by Edward Patten, and the Seventeenth Sena- 
torial District was represented by O. B. Powers. At this 
time certain amendments to the State Constitution went 
into effect, whereby State Senators were to hold their offices 
for the term of four years, and Assemblymen two years. 
The sessions of the Legislature were to be biennial, and 
were to meet on the first Monday of December, instead of 
January. 

At the general election held in September, L. C. Brownell 
was elected County Clerk; C. H. Gray was reelected Sheriff; 
G. A. Fabricious, County Treasurer, and H. G. Burnett 
District Attorney; and at the Judicial election held in Oc- 



HISTOKY OF YOLO COUNTY. 37 

tober, J. H. McKune was reelected Judge of the Sixtli 
Judicial District and James A. Hutton, County Judge. 

In June of this year, a brutal murder was committed 
near Buckeye, in this county. An old gentleman, by the 
name of Palmer, was found dead in a barnyard, with a rope 
tied around his neck, with one end attached to a saddle. 
There was a horse in the yard, from which the saddle had 
evidently been taken after having dragged the corpse sev- 
eral times around the yard. The skull of the deceased had 
been broken with some implement having square edges and 
being about one inch thick; a board of that thickness was 
found, secreted under some straw, upon which there was an 
abundance of human hair and blood. J. W. Markley was 
accused of the crime, indicted and tried, but finally ac- 
quitted. 

1864. 

The Legislature met in December, 1863, for the session 
of 1863-4. Yolo was represented in the House by J. B. 
Hartsough, and the District of Yolo and Solano by J. T. 
Hall. By the Constitutional Amendment, the Senate of 
that session was to be divided into two classes : one class to 
hold office for two years and the other for four. Mr. Hall 
drew the short term. The county officers elected at the 
last election entered ujoon their duties as provided by law — 
the judicial on the first of January and the ministerial on 
the first of March. During this session of the Legislature 
a law was passed to prevent the trespassing of animals, 
providing for a recovery of damages in case of such tres- 
pass, whether the lands were or were not fenced. This 
gave a new impetus to the grain-growing interests of Yolo 
County. Farmers could cultivate their lands in safety 
without the expense of inclosures; it led to a development 
of the agricultural interests which it could not otherwise 
have obtained for many years. 

About the month of May of this year, the KnigMs Laoid- 

ing Neivs was transferred to Woodland, changed its name, 

and was afterwards published under the name of Ike 

Woodland Neios. 

^The only death penalty ever executed in this county was

in the spring of 1864. William "Williams liad been con- 
victed of murder in Sacramento County some years pre- 
viously; liis case was taken to the Supreme Court, the 
judgment reversed and sent back for a new trial; it was 
then transferred to Yolo County, and he was again con- 
victed; another appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, 
and the judgment was affirmed. He was accordingly exe- 
cuted by the Sheriff of Yolo in the spring of 1864. 

The year 1864 was a hard one for Yolo County. The dry 
season was felt in all parts of the State, but probably in 
none more than in Yolo. Two years before, the crops had 
been almost unprecedented in the county. An average of 
forty-five bushels of wheat or sixty bushels of barley to the 
acre was not an unusual yield. Such prosperity tempted 
farmers, in hopes of a continuance of like yields, to make 
investments to an extent unwarranted. In 1863 the crops 
were light, and in 1864 they were a perfect failure. Laud 
depreciated in value more than a hundred per cent. ; those 
who were in debt were almost compelled to sell their pos- 
sessions. There was, perhaps, not grain enough raised in 
the county to feed the fowls of the common, much less to 
supply the wants of the people. 

1865-6. 

Early in April, 1865, L. C. Brownell died, leaving the 
office of County Clerk vacant, and immediately thereafter 
E. Giddings was appointed by the Board of Supervisors to 
fill the vacancy. 

At the general election, in September following, E. Gid- 
dings was elected County Clerk; William Minis, Sheriff; 
Giles E. Sill, Treasurer, and H. G. Burnett was re-elected 
District Attorney. L. B. Mizner was elected to the Senate 
to represent Yolo and Solano counties, and Charles F. Keed 
to represent Yolo County in the Assembly and serve during 
the session of 1865 and 1866. 

In the fall of 1866, a homicide was committed near Fre- 
mont, in this county. Some of the circumstances disclosed 
by the evidence were as follows: T. A. Eussell and W. A. 
Currie were brothers-in-law, stopping at the house of Mrs. 



HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 39 

Dawson, tlieir sister-in-law. The fact came to the knowl- 
edge of Knssell that Currie was criminally intimate with 
his wife, and as Currie entered a room where Kussell was 
sitting, immediately after the facts had been learned by 
him, he drew a pistol and shot Currie, killing him instantly. 
Russell was arrested, tried and acquitted. 



1867-8. 

In 1867, M. A. Woods was elected County Judge; 
E. Bynum, County Clerk; William Minis was reelected 
Sheriff; Giles E. Sill was reelected County Treasurer, 
and J, C. Ball was elected District Attorney; John M. 
Kelly was elected Assemblyman from this county and rep- 
resented it in the Legislature of 1867 and 1868 — L. B. 
Mizner continuing in the Senate. 

Early in the winter of 1867, a homicide was committed 
at Knight's Landing. Two men who were perfect stran- 
gers met in a bar-room — James Stewart and C. A. Brown. 
Brown was intoxicated and crazed with alcohol — no per- 
sonal prejudices to avenge — no previous hatred to be 
aroused. A few words of altercation were heard, a clinch 
ensued, a knife was drawn, and Stewart fell, bleeding and 
dying, to the floor. The demon of intemperance impelled 
the mortal stroke; a good man was a corpse — an awful 
warning to those who indulge in the intoxicating bowl! 
Brown was tried in 1867, and by a jury of his countrymen 
found guilty of manslaughter. 

We have said that the Yolo Democrat, published in Cache- 
ville, in 1857, died in its infancy and was buried. But: 
"After death is the resurrection." We have said, also, 
that the remains of the institution were removed to 
Knight's Landing and converted into the Knighfs Landing 
News; that in 1864 it was removed to Woodland, and there 
appeared as the Woodland News. This paper continued to 
be published until the autumn of 1867, and died on the 
sixteenth of November of that year. On Saturday, the 
twenty-third of November, there appeared in the streets of 
Woodland the Yolo Democrat, the resurrected remains of 
the paper that died in Cacheville ten years before. It had

materially improved in appearance by its long slumber; for 
it had not been dead but sleeping! 

On the first of October, 1868, the Yolo Mail, a Eepublican 
journal, was established at "Woodland. Both papers are 
now flourishing institutions at that place. | 

1869-70. 

In 1869, E. Bynum was elected County Clerk; J. P. Bul- 
lock, Sheriff; A, C. Kean, Treasurer, and J. C. Ball was 
reelected District Attorney; John M. Kelly was reelected 
to the Assembly, and William Minis was elected State 
Senator from this district; Lewis Ramage was elected 
Judge of the Sixth Judicial District — each of whom yet 
holds the office to which he was then elected. 

In the fall of 1869, Isaac Wyckam killed a man by the 
name of Ferris, in this county. The cause of the homicide 
was a difficulty about a land claim. Wyckam is yet in 
Jail awaiting his trial. The facts have not yet been given in 
evidence, and we shall not attempt to give them in advance. 

M. A. Woods, County Judge, died January 30th, 1870, 
and James Johnson was appointed by Governor Haight to 
fill the vacancy. ^ 

We have now completed our little history of Yolo 
County, from its earliest settlement until the year 1870. 
We do not flatter ourselves that it contains a large amount 
of matter interesting to those who have not been to some 
extent identified with its interests. 

But if it shall awaken in the minds of the early settlers 
pleasant and romantic reminiscences of the past, become a 
source of gratification to those who in the future may be- 
come citizens of the county, or be found convenient as a 
statistical reference, our whole object will have been ob- 
tained. 



YOLO COUNTY. 



Yolo County lies on tlie west side of tlie Sacramento 
Eiver, between tlie parallels of thirty-eight and thirty-nine 
degrees, north latitude. Woodland, the county seat, is 
situated near the forty-fifth degree of longitude, west from 
Washington, or one hundred and two degrees west from 
Greenwich. The county contains a population of nearly 
ten thousand, probably falling short three hundred of that 
number, according to the census just taken. 

The main portion of the county presents the appearance 
of an unbroken plain, interspersed with strips or belts of 
timber-land. It forms one of the most productive portions 
of the Sacramento Valley, and is already justly celebrated 
for the richness of its fields, the rapid growth of its lead- 
ing towns, and the general advancement of trade and com- 
mercial interests. As surveyed, the county contains nine 
hundred and forty square miles, or six hundred and one 
thousand six hundred acres. Supposing the western line 
to run its direct course through the unsurveyed portion, 
there would be about eighty thousand acres additional, 
making a total of six hundred and eighty-one thousand six 
hundred. For convenience, we will call it seven hundred 
thousand acres, divided as follows : Swamp and overflowed 
land, one hundred and sixty thousand acres; mountain 
land, two hundred thousand acres; leaving three hun- 



42 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

dred and forty thousand acres suitable for cultivation. 
We liave accounts of one hundred and fifty-six thou- 
sand three . hundred and fifty-eight acres cultivated this 
season, divided as follows: One hundred and twenty- 
nine thousand seven hundred and eight acres of wheat, 
twenty-four thousand and eighty acres of barley, two 
thousand five hundred and seventy acres of garden. 
Our estimate of the average crop is : Fifty-eight thousand 
tons of wheat; twelve thousand tons of barley; value of 
garden products, one hundred and thirty thousand dollars. 
The value of the annual export trade of eggs and poultry is 
fifty-eight thousand three hundred dollars. Taking the 
average price of the season, one and one-half cents per 
pound, we have as the value of the wheat crop, one million 
seven hundred and forty thousand dollars; value of the 
barley, at twenty dollars per ton, two hundred and forty 
thousand dollars. About thirty thousand acres were cut 
for hay this season, yielding about that number of tons, 
valued at two hundred and forty thousand dollars. The 
value of the agricultural products foots up to two million 
four hundred and eight thousand three hundred. 

The grain crop is mostly purchased at three points: 
Woodland, Knight's Landing and Davisville, though small 
quantities are stored and sold at other points along the 
river and railroad. Messrs. Laugenour & Brownell and 
C. F. Eeed buy at Knight's Landing, Messrs. Thomas & 
Hunt and F. S. Freeman at Woodland, Dresbach & Co. at 
Davisville. 

The past season has not been favorable to grain growers, 
and the yield through the county, with but few exceptions, 
has been light. 

There are in the county many sources of wealth aside 
from those mentioned, which will be treated of in their 
proper order — a brief paragraph being devoted to each. 
Manufactures are in a flourishing condition, as will be seen 
by a glance at the tables of statistics. This county is a 
heavy importer of many articles that could be well manu- 
factured here at less cost than they now command, and 
this fact is turning the attention of capitalists in that 



YOLO COXJNTY. 43 

direction, and we liope ere long to see factories for various 
branches of manufactures erected in our midst. 

Yolo County possesses great natural advantages as an 
agricultural and commercial county. WitLi the sinuosities 
of the river the county possesses a water front of sixty to 
seventy miles, on which are several landings where grain 
and produce can be readily shipped. 

The California Pacific Railroad traverses the central part 
of the county, affording rapid transit for exports or imports 
at any time of the year. The river carriage is extensive 
and rates of transportation reasonable, and the route is 
rarely interrupted by changes of seasons. 

Projected Railroads. 

The projected railroads, when completed, will bring a 
great addition of wealth to the county — bringing the land 
carriage and travel of several counties directly through 
Yolo. With a road to Colusa and Red Bluffs, connecting 
with the present road at Woodland, the business of that 
section would pass over this route on its way to the bay, 
adding materially to the extensive travel now j)assiug 
through the county. 

But a road of as much and perhaps of more importance 
to the interests of this county, because its business would 
be more centralized here, is the road projected from Wood- 
land, through Capay Valley and Cache Creek Canon, via 
Clear Lake, to the Mendocino Red Woods. 

This road would give us the whole trade of Lake County 
and a large portion of Mendocino. It would centralize the 
business at Woodland, doubling its business and size 
within the first year after the road was completed. Lum- 
ber, which now commands such exorbitant prices, could be 
delivered in Woodland at rates enabling our farmers to 
fence and build at far less rates than they are now com- 
pelled to pay. The growing importance of the Lake 
County trade demands that an earnest effort be made on 
the part of the business men of this county to secure it. 
The lumber and wood interests alone would justify the 



44 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

venture. From Woodland to the moutli of the canon 
through Capay Valley is but forty miles, over a natural 
road-bed, presenting no obstacles but a level plain. From 
the outlet of the canon to the lake is twenty miles of heavy 
work, the route following the creek. From the lake to the 
lumber regions — forty miles — the route presents no serious 
obstacles, the spurs or slopes of the broken ridges being 
long and of easy grades. Through the canon seems to be 
the only natural, feasible route for the road, as the range that 
intervenes between the lake and Capay Valley is from six 
hundred to one thousand feet above the lake, the ascent 
and descent very abrupt and probably insurmountable. 

There are no long, sloping spurs by which a road could be 
carried up or down this range, without the expenditure of 
such sums as would forbid its construction in the present 
state of the counties affected thereby. 

The prosperity of the county demands the establishment 
of these routes, especially the northern and northwestern 
portions, which are now dependent on freight teams as a 
means of transportation for the vast crops annually grown 
in those sections." 

Clear Lake "Wagon Road. 

A very good wagon road has been constructed across the 
mountains, connecting with the Berryessa Valley and Clear 
Lake Road; but it is of little importance as a route over 
which to transport large amounts of freight, owiilg to the 
abruptness of the ascent from this side and the steep 
descent into Sulphur Creek Valley, where it unites with the 
road mentioned. From the foot of the mountains to the 
county line, or rather, all that portion of the road lying in 
Yolo, is a county road and free to travelers, but that por- 
tion in Lake County, from the ridge to the valley, is a 
chartered toll road, which has a great tendency to turn 
Lake County travel into Napa via. of Berryessa Valley. 

In this connection it may be well to consider the 

Public Roads of the County. 
We cannot speak in lavish praise of the road-system of 



YOLO COUNTY. 45 

the county, which has had the eflfect of furnishing very poor 
roads and very few at that. 

In a county susceptible of having the very best of public 
roads, we find but few if any that would be classed as be- 
longing to that order. We find further, that many of the 
roads, as now used, have never been laid out and declared pub- 
lic highways, and are liable to be shut up and closed to the 
public at any moment, when caprice or other causes on the 
part of the land-owners should determine them to do so. 

This state of affairs is a great detriment to the prosperity 
of the county, for various reasons. Owners of lands ad- 
joining roads, not yet declared public highways, hesitate to 
fence, build, plant trees and otherwise improve their farms, 
fearful that some caprice or whim of their neighbors may 
remove the road, and they and their improvements be left 
isolated. Again, the farmer fears that a road may be forced 
through his lands at inconvenient points, and he forbears 
fencing, which might all have to be removed, to remain of any 
value, should the present roads be changed, as is frequently 
the case. These and many other considerations render it 
almost imperative that the public roads should be located 
permanently by the proper authorities. 

There is another item to be considered in connection with 
roads, of equal importance to trade and travel. We refer 
to the public 

Bridges. 

In this department the county has done nobly, and, as 
far as at present constructed, her bridges are inferior to 
none. Two fine bridges span Cache Creek — one at Nelson's, 
near Woodland, and one at Cacheville. One is spoken of 
at the mouth of Cache Creek Canon, which would accom- 
modate the section north of the creek, and known as Hun- 
gry Hollow. A bridge at this point is an imperative neces- 
sity, and will doubtless soon be built by the county or by 
private individuals. It is absolutely necessary to bring the 
trade of that portion of the county to Woodland. 

In other parts of the county, the streams are smaller and 
generally well bridged. The road and bridge fund of the 



46 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

county is in good condition, and we may confidently expect 
an improvement in the public highways. 



Toll Roads. 

There are but two toll roads — the Putah Greek Turnpike 
and the Yolo Plankroad Turnpike Company's Road. The 
latter road connects the Biver Eoad with the Buckeye Road, 
via the Tule House. The Toll Road extends from the river 
to the Tule House, and is four and one-half miles long. It 
was built in 1855, under a charter granted to J. L. Lewis, 
William Green, J. P. Hopper, W. C. Wallace, George W. 
Foster, Joshua B. Tufts and Judge Ralston. The road is 
assessed at three thousand eight hundred dollars. It was 
built to enable the travel to cross the tviles during the win- 
ter and spring months, but we believe there has been but 
two winters since it was built when travel was entirely un- 
interrupted by the floods. J. L. Lewis is gate-keeper. 



Ferries. 

The first ferry established in Yolo County was established 
by J. B. Lewis, who crossed the plains in '50 and settled in 
this county in May, '51. In the following fall, he started the 
first ferry across the tules, near where the present Toll 
Road is established. It was what is known as a rope ferry, 
the rope used being three miles long. Two trips were made 
daily, unless the wind prevented, as was frequently the case. 
The prices of ferryage was as follows : Two dollars per head 
for stock; one dollar for each passenger. Mr. Lewis records 
one season when the ferry was useless, there being no water 
in the tules. In '52-3 and 4, he run a ferry across Wash- 
ington Lake. 

Smith's Ferry; 

The ferries in present use in the county are four in num- 
ber. Smith's Ferry, the uppermost, is about fourteen miles 
north from Woodland, on the Marysville Road. 



YOLO COUNTY. 47 



Knight's Landing Ferry 

Is one of tlie oldest on the river. It is owned by J. Snow- 
hall and others. 

Sutterville Ferry, 

Three and a half miles below "Washington, connects Sutter- 
ville with the Yolo shore, at McGregor's Ranch. It is 
owned and run by Samuel Hawk. 



Freeport Ferry, 

Or Jackson's Ferry, connects the town of Freeport with the 
Yolo shore. It was established by George C. Jackson and 
others in 1852 — Mr. Jackson being boss-builder of the first 
boat. This is a buoy ferry, with a large boat and excellent 
landings. It is thirteen miles below Washington, thirty- 
one miles southeast from Woodland. It is owned and run 
by its old proprietor, George C. Jackson. 

We will now consider the natural divisions of the county, 
their general character, resources and value : 

Natural Divisions of the County. 

Owing to the peculiar location of the county and the 
varied character of its soil, it is divided by nature into five 
sections, which we have classed as divisions one, two, three, 
four and five, when locating the many farms and speaking 
of their qualities. 

These divisions have not been made by us in such a 
manner as to include in one belt all land of equal value — far 
from it. We have taken the natural divisions and simply 
numbered them. For example: A farm may be located in 
division three, but owing to its proximity to division two it 
may be comparatively worthless, or it may be of far more 
value than the one in the same division immediately ad- 
joining it. 

There are farms in division two which, owing to their 
peculiar location, their adaptability to peculiar phases of 



48 THE WESTERN SHOEE GAZETTEER. 

agriculture, and for many other causes, are held at high 
figures and will command them ; while, on the other hand, 
there are farms in divisions one and three that are nearly 
worthless, owing to natural causes, still they are ranked in 
those valuable divisions because they come within the belts 
thus segregated by Nature. 

In division five occasionally we find small and valuable 
farms, but not in division four, which presents but little 
difi^erence in soil throughout its length and breadth. 

This explanation may suffice to show why some farms in 
division three are valued at thirty, fortyj fifty to one hun- 
dred, dollars per acre, while others in the same division are 
valued at from five to fifteen dollars per acre. 

Quality of soil has been the first consideration, then the 
advantages of living water — soil being equal — in valuing 
lands. We then consider the proximity to market and 
large towns, which places a value on such lands (all other 
things being equal) far above the price of lands less favor- 
ably situated. For instance : Land in the immediate vicinity 
of Woodland sells readily at from sixty-five to one hundred 
dollars per acre, while land of better quality, thirty miles 
distant, commands but from twenty to thirty dollars. Again, 
very large farms are rated lower per acre than small ones 
in the same locality, our aim being to give a \aluation that 
would be realized in case of forced sales of the whole 
quantity. 

The buyer would find it impossible to purchase eighty 
or one hundred and sixty acres of land from the owners of 
large tracts at the figures given, for the reason that the 
holders of large tracts of grain land do not desire to sell, 
unless they dispose of the whole body. 

Again, in division two the value of the lands is but pros- 
pective, depending on the future. 

But we leave this for a general description of each divis- 
ion, commencing with 

DIVISION ONE, 

Which is a narrow belt of land, bordering the Sacramento 
Eiver the entire length of the county. In width, it varies 



YOLO COUNTY. 49 

from fifty rods to half a mile, rarely exceeding the latter. 
Besides the river belt a similar strip of land borders 
Babel, Elk and Sutter sloughs, as well as the sinks of 
Putah and Cache creeks. This land is entirely "made 
land;" or, in other words, it has been deposited by the 
streams in their annual overflow. In some localities, where 
the water has been ' ' backed up " and over these lands, the 
sediment has accumulated very rapidly and attained a great 
depth. These sections are the choice garden lands of the 
county, and are remarkable for their fertility and the 
apparently inexhaustible nature of the soil. The clearing 
of these lands from the great growth of willow and ' ' un- 
derbrush " which covers them is very difficult and expen- 
sive. The labor ceases not with the first crop. Great care 
must be exercised for several years, or until the roots have 
been quite eradicated; and then, if the land is suffered to 
lie idle for a few seasons, it is again covered with an almost 
impenetrable mass of vines and "underbrush." 

This land, at the present time, rents readily for fifteen to 
twenty-five dollars per acre, according to the locality and 
quality. A great many Chinamen are employed in garden- 
ing, generally renting the land and working for themselves. 
About twenty-five hundred acres are cultivated in vege- 
tables, the annual value of the product being estimated 
at one hundred and thirty thousand dollars. 

DIVISION TWO. 

Under this head is classed the tule and swamp lands of the 
county. They are situated mostly in the southern and east- 
ern portions of the county, though the belt extends to the 
extreme northwestern corner. This tract of land, or divis- 
ion, contains two hundred and fifty sections, or about one 
hundred and sixty thousand acres. A large portion of this 
land can be grazed only during the summer and fall, for 
when the winter and spring floods appear it is mostly sub- 
merged. Great loss of property has frequently occurred 
from the sudden inundations of this section of the county. 

The valuation of this land is merely nominal, the taxes 
4 



50 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

light accordingly. For the present year it is assessed at 
one and a quarter dollars per acre. Its real value in many 
cases is far greater, while in others it is ^all the laud is 
worth at present. 

The Tules 

Which cover this section are simply immense rushes, which 
cover the ground with an almost impenetrable thicket. 
They reach an altitude unknown in other lands, frequently 
attaining the height of sixteen to eighteen feet. The aver- 
age height of these tules is about ten feet, growing less on . 
the borders where the swamp land joins the other division. 
During the summer season these swamps afford good pas- 
turage, or "range" for numbers of cattle and horses. 
Hogs thrive remarkably well, finding a great variety of 
roots and bulbous plants suitable for food. 

These immense rushes are annuals, and their decay in 
the fall is as rapid as their growth is remarkable in the 
spring. 

From the decayed matter of this Swamp growth, and 
the sediment annually deposited, the present soil has been 
formed. In some localities it is comparatively shallow, 
while in others it has been demonstrated to extend a depth 
of sixty feet, with no perceptible difference in the character 
or formation of the deposit. 

Underlying this deposit is a strata of clay, resting upon 
a bed of sand and gravel, from which, in most cases, excel- 
lent water is obtained. The soil is apparently inexhaust- 
ible, and where it has been reclaimed has been proved of 
great productive powers. 

Levees. 

A system of levying was undertaken several years since, 
which so far has not produced the desired effect. The 
waters from the Sacramento Eiver have been kept within 
their channel for some distance, but the back-waters over- 
flow the land at every flood. Still the damage is trifling, 
compared with what it would be if the river had full sway. 

It is a question whether this land can ever be reclaimed. 



YOLO COUNTY. 51 

as a body. Apparently not, unless the streams whicli pour 
their Avinter floods thereon could be carried between levees 
until their waters reach the main channel or the bay. 

Certain it is, that could this reclamation be effected, one 
of the finest bodies of agricultural lands in the State would 
be ready for occupancy, and become a source of immense 
wealth and prosperity. 

Reclamation of Swamp Lands. 

There are parts and portions of this land, such, for ex- 
ample, as Merritt's Island and those portions bordering the 
sinks of Cache and Putah creeks, that could be readily 
reclaimed; but those parts lying within the "deep tule " 
range, though perhaps reclaimable, would, doubtless, re- 
quire a greater outlay of capital than the present condition 
of affairs would justify. Hence, we can see no reasonable 
ground for believing that the main body of the tules will 
be reclaimed for many years to come. 

A plan is now under consideration whereby the tule 
lands in the northeastern portion of the county may be 
reclaimed, and a petition has been laid before the Board of 
Supervisors, asking that legal steps may be taken for that 
purpose. It is proposed to take in, in one district, all that 
body of tules lying north of Knight's Landing and south of 
the Colusa line, and inclose it, where necessary, with levees. 
It is claimed that by thus segregating it, the work of recla- 
mation will be very light. 

DIVISION THREE. 

Under this head is classed the grain lands of the State, 
or that portion of the county lying between the foot-hills 
and the belt of swamp land of which we have been speak- 
ing. In it are included the valleys, such as are large 
enough to be of any note. This body of land, with one 
exception, is treated as a whole in classifying farms, though 
it is far from possessing an equal value. 

The exception referred to is the red, gravelly belt, which 
extends through a portion of the main grain-growing sec- 



52 THE WESTEBN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

tion. This will be spoken of under division four, with 
which we have classed it. 

Where the grain lands join the tules thQ quality of the 
soil is frequently very different from that which lies but 
one section further inland. A narrow belt of lands, often 
strongly impregnated with alkali, generally unites the two 
divisions. This land, lying above the overflows, and gen- 
erally cultivated, is located among the grain lands. Owing 
to the prevalence of alkali on some farms, their value is 
very materially decreased. This explanation will suffice to 
afford a reason why some farms are valued at low figures, 
while others immediately adjoining them are valued very 
high. The quality of the soil and the improvements 
thereon have determined the valuations of farms, while 
nature determines the divisions. 

Again, where the grain lands border on the foot-hills, 
and include in their compass broken lands, rolling hills, 
gulches and ravines, they are naturally of less value than 
where the same quality of soil is well situated. 

All these points have been considered in connection with 
these lands, and the main peculiarities of each section have 
been noted and will be briefly alluded to. 

DIVISION FOUR. 

This embraces the red, gravelly belt, referred to, and the 
first range of foot-hills. This gravel ridge and alkali belt 
begins about four miles west from Woodland, extending to 
within about three miles of Cottonwood. It has a width 
of from one to four miles, including in iti limits, alkali, 
adobe, gravel-beds, and many other peculiar features of 
soil, that are more marked than valuable. There are a few 
good farms within this district, but they are the exceptions. 
The foot-hills included in this division are those bordering 
the entire length of the county, or rather those that are 
suitable for and have been devoted to grain culture. 

DIVISION FIVE. 

In this is included the mountainous part or western 



YOLO COUNTY. 53 

division of the county. It is used only for grazing, and 
lias for that purpose a nominal value, equivalent to the tule 
lands in taxation, though these lands will sell more readily 
and bring a better price. 

Value of the Crazing Lands. 

These lands, where convenient to water, have been rated 
at five dollars per acre, and of those which are not watered 
and claimed we have made no mention. There is quite a 
body of grazing land among the mountains yet unclaimed 
and unsurveyed. It is worthless to any one but those who 
have secured the water-courses and springs. 

It is highly probable that many years will elapse before 
the mountains will be surveyed and sectionized, if ever 
they are; and until then those who have stock ranges will 
hold them to the exclusion of new-comers. There is no 
inducement whatever for stock-men to seek Yolo County, 
as every available stock ranch is claimed or occupied — gen- 
erally the latter. Unless he wishes to purchase locations, 
and expects to pay a round price for them, it is unneces- 
sary for the stock-man to visit Yolo with the intention of 
locating. 

Having glanced at the divisions thus naturally formed, 
we will consider some of the main features of the localities 
thus divided, and take a general view of the different va- 
rieties of farming lands found in division three, com- 
mencing with those bordering the Sacramento River — the 
main body of division one. 

Sacramento River Land. 

Along the Sacramento Eiver, extending from the lower 
end of the county on the south to Knight's Landing on the 
north, is a strip of arable laud which is separated from the 
main body of grain lands by a belt of tule or marsh lands. 
This belt of land, which we have classed as division one, 
varies in width from one-eighth to one mile, and extends, 
including the sinuosities of the river, about forty or forty- 



54: THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

five miles in length. From Kniglit's Landing, where tlie 
belt is broken, it continues to the Colusa line, but bearing the 
same general character. This portion of the belt, includ- 
ing Grand Island, being more properly under the head of 
grain lands, has been generally so designated, though the 
marsh lands bordering it have been classed with similar 
land in the county. All of that portion which lies below 
Washington is included in the gardens of the -county. But 
very little grain is grown below that point — the land being 
better adapted to growing vegetables and garden products. 
Besides, it has been found to be more profitable — a surer 
source of income — when cultivated in that manner, than 
when planted to grain. The uncertainty of the grain mar- 
ket, the constant and increasing demand for vegetables and 
fruits, and the peculiar adaptability of the soil for this ]3ar- 
ticular branch of industry, has had the efi'ect of almost 
totally excluding grain culture from this division of the 
county. 

Another cause works strongly in favor of gardening, as 
compared with the culture of the cereals. We refer to the 
annual overflows, which, for a limited portion of the year, 
hold these lands completely locked in their embrace. Al- 
though large and strong levees have been constructed along 
the river banks, they are security against the river floods 
alone, and are powerless to prevent the inroads of the wa- 
ters which accumulate in the tule marshes, having been dis- 
charged there from the mighty torrents which annually find 
their way from the mountains to the plains, through the 
swollen channels of Cache and Putah creeks, their numer- 
ous tributaries and the many creeks and gulches which, 
though dry and dusty in the summer, are roaring torrents 
in the winter. This water, not finding an available outlet 
to the sea of sufficient capacity to readily discharge its 
vast volume, "sets back" over the lands adjoining the 
river, and almost completely submerges them, for months 
at a time. 

The quantity of land thus submerged, which is afterward 
made available, varies in bulk according to the severity of 
the winter; but, until the rainy season has passed, it is un- 



YOLO COUNTY. 55 

safe and unwise to cultivate any portion of the land wliich 
is subject to inundation. 

Tlie bed of tlie river has, doubtless, underwent many 
changes, as the valley is one vast deposit. It can hardly be 
supposed that the river has known only its present chan- 
nel, though the trees which line its banks are indications 
that many years have elapsed since the present channel was 
formed. 

But in many places the channel has shifted very materi- 
ally, within the memory of the old settlers. Close by where 
Mr. Conrad's house is standing, the proprietor hauled his 
seine, in '49 and '50, over one of the best fishing grounds 
on the river. Now the river is three hundred yards dis- 
tant, and the intervening space is overgrown with large 
willows, vines and a dense undergrowth. 

Older evidences of changes are not wanting; also evi- 
dences tending to show that the southern end of the county 
has all been made from the annual deposits of the river. 

A few years since, Mr. J. 0. Ray, while sinking a well on 
his place, a hundred yards or more from the river, came on 
the body of a tree, twelve inches in diameter, bedded in a 
strata of gravel twenty-four feet below the surface. Tour 
feet above this, he passed through a strata of blue clay, 
and above that still was a sand-bed. At seventy feet, a bed 
of gray or ocean sand, thickly interspersed with large ma- 
rine shells, was found. Beneath this, good water was ob- 
tained, and the well was dug no farther. We might enu- 
merate many instances where it has been demonstrated that 
a, large portion of these lands, and probably the whole body, 
has been formed by deposits from the main river and its 
tributaries, but it is unnecessary. 

This class of lands, or most of them, have been reclaimed 
at great cost. Originally, covered with a dense growth of 
scrub-oak, willow, briers, wild grape and other vines, the 
expense attending on clearing the lands and fitting them fOr 
cultivation, was very great, ranging from one hundred to 
one hundred and eighty dollars per acre. 

After the underbrush had been cleared and burned off, 
the roots were "grubbed" or dug out, before a plow could 



56 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

be put in tlie ground. Not only for one year, but for sev- 
eral years, after the first clearing, must the grubbing process 
be repeated, until the green sprouts are thoroughly eradi- 
cated, and the remains of the old roots are entirely de- 
stroyed. 

The labor on these lands ceased not with the eradication 
of the first growth of brush and vines. Frequently the 
floods would wash over them, destroying orchards and gar- 
dens, and, in a few days or hours, obliterate every trace of 
years of patient toil; and the orchards must be planted 
again, the fences rebuilt, the garden reclaimed again — or 
the farm be abandoned. In several cases, the latter course 
has been adopted, but not until after repeated trials, which 
left the unlucky gardener hopelessly involved — completely 
ruined. 

Many of those lands which are now in use as gardens 
along the river, are still suffering from the effects of the 
frequent overflows. On some, the wash and sediment has 
been deposited to such depths as to destroy the fertility of 
the land, for some years at least. In some places, where, 
but a few years since, luxuriant crops of vegetables were 
grown, and where fine orchards were standing, every ves- 
tige of cultivation has passed away, and nothing is to be 
seen now but a dense growth of willows and briers, among 
which one may occasionally see the tops of fence-posts pro- 
truding six or eight inches above the soil, where but ia few 
years ago they stood five feet above the ground. That 
depth has been filled in by the deposits of the numerous 
floods which have washed away the top-soil ofi' some farms 
only to deposit it on others. 

Again, we find farms sadly neglected — abandoned, in 
fact, by their former owners, and now occupied by China- 
men, who rent and cultivate each a few acres. The owners 
having become discouraged by the frequent losses from 
floods, have ceased to improve their lands, and, being un- 
willing to dispose of them at ruling prices, have ceased to 
cultivate them, nor will any effort be made to restore them 
to their former position, until some system of leveeing shall 
be devised and carried into effect that shall guarantee them 
security against future devastation. 



YOLO COUNTY. 67 

That portion of tlie river lands now, nnder cultivation 
commands a liigli price and rental per acre. Good garden 
land near Washington sells from fifty to two hundred dol- 
lars per acre, and rents at fifteen to twenty-five dollars, 
cash, rent. 

The general products are vegetables of various varieties — 
the principal being corn, melons, cucumbers, sweet pota- 
toes and peanuts. The amount of land annually under 
cultivation in vegetables or garden, including that in other 
portions of the county, amounts to about twenty -five hundred 
acres — jdelding an annual income to the owners or culti- 
vators, of one hundred and thirty thousand dollars, and 
afibrding employment to about three hundred men, a large 
proportion of whom are Chinese. The remainder are 
mostly Portuguese and Italians — a few French, Germans 
and Americans, being engaged in the same occupation. 

With a proper system of levees, that would afford secu- 
rity against the floods, the number of acres and working 
force would soon be quadrupled, and an almost incalcu- 
lable source of wealth added to the county. 

The effects of the floods are not alone devastated farms. 
In many localities where the lands have been submerged 
but uninjured by wash — owing to the water backing up 
over them without a current — the lands have been left 
in a foul state — the seeds and roots of foul growth from 
other places having been deposited thereon by the water 
and taken firm hold of their new location as soon as 
the floods subsided. Once established, it is found to 
be very diflicult, if not impossible, to eradicate them by 
cultivation — in fact, the morning glory, a vine of rapid 
growth, seems to thrive under the severest system of 
cultivation. Every joint of root which is broken by 
the plow, if left on or in the soil, takes a new start 
and soon becomes another vine, spreading its branches 
far and wide and choking all other growth around it. 
The joint-grass thrives still better, when disturbed and 
broken up by the plow or hoe. Every joint, when separ- 
ated from the parent stem, throws out roots and attaches 
itself to the soil immediately, and as its roots extend but a 



58 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

few inches below the surface, the drought has no effect 
upon it. In fact, this troublesome visitor thrives equally 
well above or beneath the water. The cultivation of grain, 
fruit or vegetables, will not eradicate these troublesome 
parasites that fatten on the ruins of fine gardens. 

The only remedy left by which to escape their ravages 
seems to lie in seeding the land to alfalfa, the rapid growth 
of which effectually chokes out the foul interlopers. Many 
of the farmers are adopting this system, and many more 
will follow their example. 

Among the dairy farms we find the introduction of this 
plant becoming general, and the farmers express themselves 
as being well satisfied with the results. Under another 
head we shall treat more fully of this matter. 

The dairy farms on the Sacramento are worthy of especial 
notice, and several of them will be mentioned under the 
head of dairy farms. 

Among the most prominent of the dairymen who have 
located in Merritt Township, we might refer to J. B. Green, 
whose ranch lies in Yolo and Sacramento counties, being- 
divided by the river. The location is one of the pleas- 
antest on the river, being situated on the island formed by 
Elk Slough on one side and the river on the other. On 
the same island are the dairy ranches of Mr. Cave, Mr. 
Childs and several others. 

The Sacramento River lands possess much of interest, 
notwithstanding the fact that in many cases the farms have 
been neglected and permitted to become overrun with 
weeds, briars and bushes, while the buildings have fallen 
into disuse and consequent decay. These lands were the 
very earliest s^tled in the county, with one exception, and 
many are still living on the ranches they occupied in 1849 
and 1850. The mulberry orchards, the cocooneries, wdth 
but one or two exceptions, are situated on the river. The 
only chickory-growing and manufacturing establishment in 
the State is on one of these river farms, and the finest 
orchards and vegetable gardens of the county are located 
here. As a general rule, the water along the river is excel- 
lent, being much colder than that found further back and 



YOLO COUNTY. 59 

on those plains not subject to overflow. Grain does not 
succeed as well on the river farms as it does on the plains, 
excepting in very dry seasons. It grows too rank, and is 
apt to fall without ripening, when a new crop grows imme- 
diately, mixing with that which has partially ripened, ren- 
dering it unfit for harvest and difficult to save. 

Vegetable gardens line the river bank for miles, inter- 
spersed with orchards and occasional grain fields. No- 
where in the State do vegetables grow in greater profusion, 
or attain a larger size. Mammoth squashes, melons, beets, 
etc., under a liberal system of cultivation, are the rule — 
the dwarf, shrunken specimens being rarely found. The 
result of the numerous overflows has been, in most cases, 
beneficial to the gardening interest. In many places the soil 
is but sediment — a loose, fine sand, in which the foot sinks 
to the ankle whenever placed iipon the yielding surface. 
This sand is thoroughly mixed with a fine loam, of exceed- 
ing fertility, rendering it very productive. Sweet potatoes 
grow to an unprecedented size, possessing a flavor second 
to none raised elsewhere. Berries of diflerent varieties 
are successfully cultivated and yield handsome returns. 
The mulberry grows very rank in this soil, and requires but 
little, if any, care beyond the planting and cultivation 
necessary to keep down the weeds. 

Peaches, pears, apricots, nectarines, plums, cherries, 
quinces, figs, and many other varieties of fruit, reach their 
greatest perfection along the river, but grapes fail of reach- 
ing the high excellence attained in other parts of the 
county and State, though they are rather extensively culti- 
vated. The apple thrives better along the river than else- 
where in the county — the fruit being more cyisp and juicy, 
and growing to a larger size. The extreme heat of the 
summer is injurious to this fruit in the more exposed 
plains. » Along the river there is generally a breeze, cooler 
and more invigorating than that which sweeps the plains at 
certain periods, which has a tendency to preserve the apple 
from the efi'ects of the sun's rays.^ But, with this in its 
favor, we find no apples which, for solidity of texture, 
flavor or general appearance, can compare favorably with 



60 THE WESTERN SHOEE GAZETTEER. 

those grown in the mountains either of the Coast Range or 
the Sierras. The apple requires a colder climate, a rocky 
soil, frosts, snows and marked changes of seasons, to en- 
able it to reach its perfection. For the earliest varieties — 
those which ripen and are gone Sre the long-heated term is 
fairly upon us — the river farms will do as well or better 
than any portion of the county; for those varieties of later 
growth, that require a season in which to ripen, the river 
farms as well as the plains present no qualifications nor 
inducements to orchardists. 

Grapes fail from over-moisture, probably, as the wood 
grows very rank and rapidly. The vines appear to be well 
sheltered during the growing season; the fruit sets finely 
and presents the most encouraging aspect until a certain 
period, when the mildew or blight seizes upon it, and the 
stand becomes worthless. Such is not the case at all times, 
but so frequently does it occur that grapes cannot be con- 
sidered a sure crop along the river, and many have either 
destroyed their vines entirely, or suffered their vineyards 
to go to decay and consequent ruin. We do not wish to 
convey the idea that this is the case in all parts of the county 
which borders on the river, for some localities, where the 
land along the river bank is high, the grape flourishes very 
well, but still not on an equality with those grown on the 
plains, the foot-hills or the mountains. 

Grapes, like the apple, thrive best on ruder soil, where 
the bed-rock is near the surface, and the roots of the vine 
can readily feed on its peculiar properties. These facts will 
be further treated under the head of vineyards. 

"Woodland Farms 
In the immediate vicinity of Woodland, the soil is mostly 
composed of a sandy loam, with a gravelly subsoil. The 
depth of soil is not as great as in some localities, owing to 
the fact that a gravelly elevation extends for some distance 
around the place on which the town is located. Yet these 
lands possess a strong soil, and, with proper cultivation, 
yield handsome returns. The gravelly elevation spoken of 



YOLO COUNTY. ' 61 

is, however, better adapted to fruit and vines than grain — 
the former growing most luxuriantly. 

Within one and a half miles of Woodland are some very 
valuable grain farms, among which may be mentioned 

Clanton's Farm. 

This farm contains six hundred and forty acres of excel- 
lent grain land, well fenced and improved. It is peculiarly 
adapted to grain-raising, and ranks among the best grain 
farms in the vicinity of Woodland. 

To the north of Woodland, the land slopes away to Cache 
Creek, increasing in fertility and materially changing in 
quality of soil, becoming more mixed with sand on the sur- 
face, and changing to a clayish subsoil. With the excep- 
tion of a narrow strip of cold, swampy ground, which ex- 
tends up toward the town from the sink of Cache Creek, a 
fine body of grain land is presented, which is all under suc- 
cessful cultivation. 

The average yield of wheat for this section can be safely 
estimated at thirty bushels -per acre, in favorable seasons, 
though frequent cases are mentioned where the yield is 
much higher — forty to fifty bushels per acre having been 
harvested. 

Immediately west from town, we find the lands of excel- 
lent quality, until we arrive at the gravelly, red soil referred 
to, which will be spoken of in another article. 

Willow Slough Farms. 
Along the banks of Willow Slough are some of the finest 
and most valuable farms in the county. Their value is not 
enhanced from the supposition that they are of a better 
quality of soil (which is not always the case) than those 
farms situated in other parts of the county, but rather from 
their superior location, their proximity to the railroad, and 
the great advantages arising from having a plentiful supply 
of living water convenient of access for stock. This con- 
sideration alone is suflicient, in the minds of many, to induce 
them to pay or ask a price for those lands far above that 



62 • THE WESTEBN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

realized for other lands of equal qualities of soil, yet lack- 
ing the great desideratum — water — living, running water. 

The farms immediately bordering the slough, and situated 
on its eastern bank, of which we propose to speak, with 
but few exceptions, possess a soil superior, in many respects, 
to that found a few miles away from the bank of the stream. 
Especially is this the case in considering much of the land 
lying to the eastward of the lower body of water, anil dis- 
tant a few miles therefrom. The loam, comprising the top- 
dressing of the slough lands, is deeper and more mixed 
with sediment from former wash and overflow, which gives 
the land a lighter, looser bearing, especially protecting it 
against drought. In the immediate neighborhood of the 
last division of the slough, as soon as the higher laud bor- 
dering the stream is left, the whole aspect of the soil is 
changed entirely. One would hardly sujDpose that two 
classes of land, so entirely opposite in their nature and 
properties, would be found in such close proximity. The 
one possessed of a clear, lively, warm and strong soil — a 
mixture of clay-loam and sand-sediment, capable of pro- 
ducing the most luxurious crops of cereals, well adapted to 
gardening, vines or orchards — while the other is cold, heavy 
and backward, composed more of decayed vegetation than 
other material; entirely different though from regular tule 
or adobe soil; thickly splashed with barren, alkali spots, on 
which no vegetation grows — the whole comprising land of 
but little value for aught else than grazing purposes. 

This difference in quality, when understood, will account 
for the great difference in the valuation of farms which are 
situated in the same neighborhood — in fact, joining each 
other. On some of the farms bordering Willow Slough, on 
the east side, these alkali patches occur occasionally, de- 
Sitroying several acres in a farm, while the land immediately 
surrounding these barren places is of excellent quality, and 
produces good crops. 

Dr. Ruddock's Farm. 
In following up the slough on the west or Woodland side, 
we find some farms worthy of especial mention, as being 



YOLO COUNTY. 63 

peculiarly adapted to various branclies of farming. The 
farm of Dr. Euddock, embracing one hundred and sixty- 
acres of land, owing to the remarkable manner in which it 
is watered, is unsurpassed in its adaptability to be rendered 
a small model farm. As now arranged, about ninety-five 
acres are in grain, the remainder being used as pasturage. 
The farm is divided by fences in four fields, in each of which 
is living water — the slough, and those three remarkable 
wells or springs spoken of in the article on Willow Slough. 
The Doctor has about two acres of sweet almonds, which 
are doing finely, yielding a good crop each year. They are 
seedlings, and were planted by him but a few years since. 
As a grain, fruit or stock-ranch, it is equal to the best and 
inferior to none. A farm of this size, when properly pre- 
pared for stock grazing, by seeding down in alfalfa, well 
watered as it is, would become of far more profit to the 
owaer than it can possibly be while under grain cultivation; 
or, used as a garden, with the advantages possessed by this 
particular farm for irrigation, it could be rendered very val- 
uable. 

Merritt's Farm. 
Another class of farms — i. e., large grain farms — is well 
represented on the slough by the farm of Merritt Brothers, 
containing about seventeen hundred acres of the finest 
quality of wheat land. This fine body of land is well 
watered, lying on both sides of the slough, and is devoted 
to raising grain. Taken as a whole, it ranks among the 
most valuable farms in the county. It is improved in ad- 
vance of many, with orchard and vineyard. The dwelling- 
house is one of the best in the county, and adds much to 
the value of the place. This farm is peculiarly adapted to 
alfalfa, and could readily be transformed into a stock farm 
of great value. 

Bullard's Farm. 

Further up the slough we find the farm of Mr. F. Bul- 

lard, one of the best-improved grain farms in that part of 

the county. The annual product per acre is above the 

general average — partly owing to superior soil^ but more to 



64 THE WESTERN SHOEE GAZETTEER. 

superior cultivation. This farm is also well adapted to 
alfalfa and stock, and could be rendered very productive 
and profitable in connection therewith. 

It is evident that those farms possessing the advantages 
of running water and a good soil combined — and there are 
but few in the county thus situated — are and will be of far 
more value than those farms deficient in this particular. 
Where water must be raised by pumps for stock purf)Oses, 
it adds no small item to yearly expenses — consequently de- 
tracting from the value of a farm, when compared with one 
possessing the advantage of living water. This may serve 
to show why, in the valuations of land, we have placed the 
Willow Slough farms in advance of others whose soil is 
equally rich. There are other portions where the soil is as 
rich and as deep — perhaps better for general farming — 
but they lack the essential advantages enumerated above. 
This body of land, though well watered, is safe from over- 
flow — an exception to most of the lands bordering the 
streams. The quality of soil which characterizes this sec- 
tion is not confined to this locality, but extends for some 
distance south and north of the slough, embracing some of 
the best farming lands in the county. Of these we will 
speak in other articles, beginning with the 

Plainfield Farms. 

Plainfield, or Plainfield ScJioolhouse, is situated on the 
north side of Dry Slough, seven and one-half miles south 
from Woodland, in the midst of a very fertile jDortion of 
the county. There are two blacksmith shops, one store, 
and one saloon, on the south bank of the slough. As its 
name indicates, the slough is but a dry ravine, excepting 
during the prevalence of heavy rains, when it drains a largo 
tract of the plains of their surplus waters. 

It is intended by the citizens adjacent to this plsice to 
apply to the Department for the establishment of a post- 
ofiice at the Corners, on the south side of the slough. They 
certainly need one at that point, as their nearest post-ofiice 
is Davisville, about five miles distant. 



YOLO COUNTY. 65 

That portion of the county commonly designated .as 
"Plainfield," and lying south of Dry Slough, possesses 
many of the advantages and peculiar properties which char- 
acterize the Willow Slough lands. Though not possessing 
the advantage of running water, these lands are easier sup- 
plied with this needed element than the average grain lands 
of the county. 

The water is found very near the surface, a plentiful sup- 
ply being obtained at from nine to twelve feet. An ordi- 
nary, cheap windmill, in connection with a Douglass pump, 
is found to be sufficient for all farming purposes and even 
the watering of large bands of stock. 

The soil of these lands is deep, the top dressing being 
generally a gravelly, sandy loam, easily cultivatejd and in 
ordinary seasons producing bountiful harvests. Wheat is 
the principal production, but few, if any, of the farmers 
raising more barley than is sufficient to feed their teams. 
Summer-fallow is not resorted to in this section as much as 
in many other parts of the county, for two reasons: 1st. 
The natural looseness of the soil enables the farmers in this 
locality to start their plows in the fall, when but little rain 
has fallen — not enough to enable the farmers on clay land 
to begin work. And again, when excessive rains have 
rendered clay land too wet for immediate cultivation, these 
lands are but little affected thereby, and it is seldom that 
the plows cease running for that reason. The second rea- 
son is, that a large part of the soil of the Plainfield lands 
is very rich, and when fallowed before a favorable season 
the grain grows so luxurious that it generally falls, or be- 
comes "lodged," while the berry is in the milk, causing a 
shrinkage of the kernel, besides entailing an additional 
expense and loss in harvesting. Taking this part of the 
county as a section, it is second to none in its resources or 
in its productiveness. Some of the largest farms and- 
wealthiest farmers of the county are to be found in this 
district. 

Green's Ranch. 

Among the farms located here, we mention that of 
5 



66 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

Charles E. Green, as being one of the largest, and we 
tliink the best improved, in this section. In improvements 
it ranks second to no large farm in the county. It contains 
twelve hundred and eighty acres of land, of superior qual- 
ity, all inclosed with a five-board fence with redwood posts. 
It is divided into several fields, containin-g, respectively, 
ten acres, eighty acres, thirty acres, forty acres and four 
hundred acres — the remainder of the farm being in one 
large field. For the purpose of comparing the present 
appearance of the county, or portions of it, with the past, 
we will note the general appearance of this farm and com- 
pare it with its appearance a few years since. 

The first dwelling-house erected on the ranch is still 
standing, a low, one-story, wooden structure, twelve by 
twenty feet. In that house the first settler on the farm 
lived for some years, while pursuing his labors, and doubt- 
less considered that he had a very good and comfortable 
mansion. It was also occupied by the present owner of 
the farm before he felt himself able to improve the place 
according to his ideas of comfort and convenience. 

The dwelling-house now occupied by the family is a two- 
story frame, twenty-four by seventy-two feet, with an L, 
twenty -four by forty-eight feet; hard-finished and well fur- 
nished throughout, and ornamented with front and rear 
piazzas. A large and deep cellar, with brick walls and 
floor, laid in cement, and brick foundation, complete the 
lower division of the building. Eats or mice can find no 
refuge around the building. By perfect ventilation the 
cellar is kept cool and sweet, where the milk is kept in the 
warmest weather, enabling them to make butter alike in 
the warm or cool seasons. For the rainy or cool season, a 
pantry above ground is used for dairy purposes, where the 
temperature can be regulated, by artificial means, to any 
required degree. 

- A rain-water cistern, brick, laid in cement, holding six 
thousand gallons, receives the water from the house-roof, 
and stores it, from whence it is raised by a pump as 
needed. The stock of groceries and provisions to be seen 



YOLO COUNTY. 67 

in the store-room is sufficient to furnish an ordinary gro- 
cery store with more than an average stock. 

In addition to the main dwelling, and but a few yards 
from it, is the headquarters of the men employed on the 
place. This building cost twelve hundred dollars, and has 
ample accommodations for all employed — the sleeping 
apartments being superior to those of many farmers' fami- 
lies. 

The main barn is sixty-four by ninety-six feet. The main 
body of the building will store two hundred tons of hay, 
besides containing the mill in which all the horse-feed and 
hog-feed required are ground. 

The stables have room for twenty-two horses, and are 
light and airy. ' , 

The improvements on this place have cost about twent}^ 
thousand dollars, including orchard and shade trees. Eight 
hundred and fifty locust trees have been planted, and the 
owner of the place intends to plant several acres more, 
during the coming winter, as a future supply of wood and 
also to break the force of the winds which at times do 
much damage. There being no timber on this portion of 
the plains, it becomes almost a necessity that timber be 
grown; if not for its beauty and shade, the scanty supply 
of wood demands it. 

Where these improvements now are, twelve years ago the 
plains were bare of aught save the little frame house we 
referred ^o and a small shelter for stock. Twenty years 
ago no signs of improvement or progressive life were vis- 
ible. Mark the change, and draw your own inferences 
regarding the rapid growth and development of Yolo 
County. 

Buckeye G-rain Lands. 

The farming lands of Buckeye Township are varied in 
character and value — or, to use the common term, they are 
" spotted." There are some of the best grain lands in the 
county in that township, and some of the poorest. The 
main body of grain land bordering the foot-hills and ex- 
tending eastward is generally of excellent character until it 



68 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. ■ 

■unites witli the red gravel belt which extends through a 
portion of this and Cottonwood townships. The general 
character of the soil is very different from that which sur- 
rounds Woodland, and the change is for the better, as far 
as grain raising is concerned. 

East of the Town of Buckeye the gravel, alkalied belt ap- 
proaches within a few miles, cutting off the first-class grain 
lands very abruptly. Southward the grain lands extend 
unbroken until the border of the county, or Putah Creek, 
is reached. Within this section are many valuable farms, 
prominent among which, is 



Ely's Farm. 

This farm contains fourteen hundred and sixty acres of 
excellent grain land, all in cultivation. The soil is deep 
and lively, partaking in a large degree of mountain wash 
and deposits. It is the representative farm of the district, 
and in ordinary seasons has thus far j)roved very pro- 
ductive. 

Briggs' Farm, 

Near by, is also a noted place, and contains nine hundred 
acres of grain land, all under cultivation. The general 
character of the soil is the same as that just described. In 
addition, this farm possesses the advantage of having a 
large body of grazing lands connected with it,, enabling the 
proprietor to divide his investments between grain and 
stock. These two farms may be taken as examples of the 
best farms in the township or county. There are many 
others of equal value according to size, but we do not think 
of any others which combine the advantages of soil with 
an equal or larger number of acres. 

The grain lands of Buckeye which lie within the alkaline 
belt are not of very large extent. Situated as they are, 
they would be considered excellent by those accustomed to 
cultivate the sterile, rocky soil of the Eastern States. The 
alkali spots are comparatively worthless, yet the soil sur- 
rounding them produces equal to any. In some localities 



YOLO COUNTY. 69 

whole farms are rendered of little value by tliem ; in others 
but one or two spots will be found on a farm. 

The average grain yield of Buckeye is equal to any por- 
tion, according to the number of acres cultivated — in fact, 
when sections are considered, but little, if any, difference 

of yield per acre is noted. 

* 

Cotton-wood Grain Lands. 

The Township of Cottonwood comprises the northwest- 
ern and part of the central portion of the county. The 
quality of the grain lands is more equal, presenting but few 
places where alkali beds are found. On the other hand, 
the grain lands occupy more rolling, broken country than 
we have hitherto described. Immediately surrounding the 
Town of Cottonwood the land is excellent, though east- 
erly it soon loses its characteristics, and is merged in 
the belt of poor land which enters the township from that 
direction. Southerly, the land is good until Buckeye 
Township is reached — of which we have spoken. Westerly, 
the same quality of land extends, embracing the first low 
range of foot-hills, many of which possess a very superior 
soil. The general character of the soil is a gravelly loam 
in the lower lands, a clayish loam in the more elevated 
portions, with a clay subsoil supporting both sections. 
Along the borders of the small creeks we find some farms 
with soil composed entirely of mountain wash and sedi- 
ment, rendering them very prominent among the first-class 
farms. 

Again, we find farms of clayish soil, thickly covered with 
slight elevations or knolls, having a harder crust and pos- 
sessing a colder nature, though yielding bountiful harvests. 
The marked difference in the grain lands of this township 
consists in these divisions, which are slight, when we con- 
sider the strong contrast existing in other localities. 

Another division should be noted — that caused by Cache 
Creek, which extends through the township. The borders 
of this stream possess a soil similar to the river lands, though 
not as deep or lasting. The gravel-beds which underlie it 



70 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

are nearer the surface, and the loam partakes more of the 
character of mountain wash than river deposits. In color 
it assimilates with the river front, with but this difference — 
a reddish-brown cast abounds, which is found only along 
the banks of the mountain streams. The dark, rich tinge 
of decayed vegetation is here as strongly defined as it is on 
the banks of the Sacramento, with the addition of the de- 
composed slate and granite of the hills. 

As fair representative farms, perhaps among the best of 
these three divisions, we will mention those of Scott, 
Stephens and McFadyen. 



W. G-. Scott's Farm 

Contains about two thousand acres of grain land, all in cul- 
tivation. The main portion of this grain land lies in one 
body, southwest from Cottonwood, some two miles distant. 
This farm presents many advantages, and several varieties 
of soil. A portion of it belongs to the elevated portion of 
the plains, while a part borders a creek, dry in the summer, 
but of sufficient volume during the heavy rains to enable it 
to overflow its banks and deposit large bodies of sediment, 
enriching the land thus overflowed. 

The advantage of a stock-range of several thousand acres 
connected with this farm, renders it very valuable in this re- 
spect. The grain land, as a body, presents but little differ- 
ence in returns in favorable seasons; but, when drought 
prevails, the lower sandy soils present a marked superiority 
in their returns, as compared with the more elevated and 
clayish soil. 

This farm is but partially fenced, the grain land being 
protected by the stock laws; but,, considering its size, there 
are few farms in the county better improved — none better 
supplied with the implements of farming. The machinery, 
wagons and stock, employed could not be placed there for 
less than ten thousand dollars. A blacksmith and wagon 
shop belong to the ranch, where all the farm work is at- 
tended to. The average number of men employed is fif- 



YOLO COUNTY. 71 

teen; the average wages paid is thirty-two dollars and a half 
per month. 

G-. D. Stephens' Farm. 

This farm lies on both sides of Cache Creek, and contains 
about four thousand acres. The main portion is excellent 
grain land, well wooded and possessing a soil easy of culti- 
vation. On the margin of the stream, the soil is deep and 
very productive. A portion of the land, lying between this 
belt and the lands of Kiethly, partakes of a colder nature, 
being interspersed with alkali spots, and sedgy, adobe 
patches. This is used for pasturage; also, a low portion 
adjoining, on which the water stands at intervals during 
heavy rains. For a large body of land, it may be consid- 
ered very uniform in quality, and very valuable. It is all, 
or nearly all, inclosed by a substantial fence, and other- 
wise well improved. It is used as a stock and grain farm, 
and could be made one of the best stock farms in the county. 

McFadyen's Farm. 

This farm, well known as the old Ben. Dennis place, lies 
between the farms of Messrs. Scott and Stej)hens, and is 
probably one of the most productive farms of its size in 
that section of the county. It contains four hundred acres, 
and is — all of it — formed from the deposits of Cottonwood 
Creek. It is well wooded, having a large grove of noble 
oaks — the largest of which are seven feet in diameter. 

The made soil on this farm has been demonstrated to 
exceed ten feet in depth, and in places it is deeper. Oak 
stumps have been burned out which left pits ten, twelve 
and even fifteen feet deep, before the walls showed a sign 
to mark where a root had formerly sprang from the tree, 
showing conclusively that the land had been made around 
them to that depth. In productiveness, this farm is unri- 
valed, and it deservedly is classed among the best in the 
county. 

From this short discription of three farms, representing 
three varieties of grain lands, we can form a fair estimate 



72 THE WESTEEN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

of tlie country under consideration. It is true that a few 
fields are found in this vicinity, the surface-soil of which is a 
variety of adobe; but little known or understood excepting 
that, in favorable seasons, it yields good returns of grain. 
It is not like the vegetable compound, which is the main 
ingredient in the adobe soils of the marshes; neither is it 
similar in color or quality to the adobe hills found near by, 
but rather seems to partake of the nature of sedimentary 
deposits, beat back into its present position by long and 
continued action of wind-driven waves. But of this we 
propose to speak in another place. 

Capay Valley. 

This lovely valley is better known under the name of 
Cache Creek Caiion — a name it bore until a few years since, 
when it was christened by the name it now bears. The val- 
ley has an average width of one mile, and a length of about 
twenty miles — according to its windings. This body of 
land is among the best grain lands of the county, and with 
the adjoining hills furnishes many fine stock-farms. It 'is 
well wooded and watered, Cache Creek extending through 
its entire length. The main body of the valley is under 
cultivation, and crops have been considered very safe and 
sure in this locality, despite droughts and sudden changes. 
It is sheltered, in a great measure, from the north winds, 
which frequently do great damage to the crops on the more 
exposed portions of the plains. But a few years since this 
land was offered for sale at four dollars per acre. It now 
rates at from eight to twenty, showing the rapid increase 
in value of real estate in the county. 

Hungry Hollow, 

As a portion of Cottonwood Township is called, lies to the 
westward of Cache Creek, bordering the foot-hills which 
skirt that portion of the county. There are some excellent 
farms in this vicinity, and we believe that the farmers of 
this locality are entitled to the credit of having grown the 



YOLO COUNTY. 73 

best wheat in the county for the two last years. The gen- 
eral character of the soil differs but little, if any, from the 
main plains, of which the valley is but a continuance — an 
arm of the vast body which covers so large a portion of 
the county. The grain lands sweep aw^y to and embrace 
the low hills, presenting only this change in the general 
appearance. There are places where the prevailing grav- 
elly loam gives place to adobe mixture, but these changes 
are neither frequent nor marked sufficiently to deserve es- 
pecial mention. The available land in this section is all 
claimed and mostly under cultivation. Within a few years 
we may confidently expect this section to become one of 
the wealthiest in the county. 

Prairie Lands. 

This body of land, lying north of Cacheville, ranks 
among the first-class grain lands, possessing the general 
characteristics of the land described and requiring no fur- 
ther description. The same can be said of the body of 
lands lying between the foot-hills and the tides, from 
Knight's landing to the Colusa line. With few exceptions, 
the soil is sandy or gravelly loam with clay subsoil, and 
produces well. It is one vast grain-field, which, in the 
summer, is one vast field of grain, and that is about all 
the "diiference worth mentioning. At Prairie, Antelope or 
Dunnegan's, the same scene greets the eye, the same qual- 
ity of soil appears and equal advantages for successful 
grain-culture are apparent. ^ 

Cache Creek Lands. 

We have already'referred to these lands when speaking 
of Capay "Valley and Stephens' Ranch, and therefore we 
will briefly glance at the grain lands around Cacheville. 
Those farms bordering the creek and possessing the advan- 
tage of water are held at high figures. They are well 
wooded, the soil is deep, strong and lasting. By many 
the land about Cacheville is considered the best in the 



74 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. ' 

county ; it certainly possesses great advantages. This lo- 
cality as well as Woodland possesses tlie advantages of 
irrigation, a ditch having been constructed which conveys 
the water of Cache Creek over the fields in that vicinity. 

From what we have said regarding the grain lands of 
the county an estimate may be made of the advantages of 
each section; also the extent and value of the grain lands 
of the county. 

We will now glance at the principal 

Dairy Farms. 

The- dairy interest is now attracting considerable atten- 
tion in all parts of the State, an^ of late years several 
citizens of Yolo County have turned their attention solely 
to this branch of industry. Butter and cheese command a 
good price and will for many years to come, sufficient to 
render the business more remunerative than grain-raising, 
taking one year with another. The average price obtained 
for cheese is about seventeen cents per pound, though fa- 
vorite brands often rate higher. A fair average of the 
range of butter prices would be about forty-five cents, 
though prices range from fifty to sixty and as high as sixty- 
five cents per pound during the winter. Many of the 
dairymen are adopting the plan of milking their cows in 
the fall and winter months, when butter commands a high 
price, and allowing them to become dry when the open- 
ing of spring grazing brings a large number of competitors 
in the field and the price of butter becomes reduced to 
thirty or thirty-five cents per pound. 

A very large sum finds its way to the East from our State, 
annually, that might be retained here, would our farmers 
but avail themselves of the advantages offered by Nature 
in this respect. 

It is evident that where the business is conducted sys- 
tematically, dairying cannot fail of being profitable. When 
we compare the prices obtained for butter and cheese (first 
class) here with the price realized by Eastern dairymen for 
their products, the proof in favor of the correctness of our 



YOLO COUNTY. 75 

proposition is ample. We are all well aware tliat the dairy 
counties of tlie Eastern States are tlie wealthiest portions 
of those communities, and that the individuals composing 
that class are far in advance of their neighbors of the same 
localities who follow the more precarious occupation of 
cultivating grain. 

We have every natural facility for successful dairying, 
with the sole exception of tame grasses; but this is easily 
remedied in many localities, as has been demonstrated by 
farmers near Woodland and on the Sacramento River. 
They have overcome this objection by seeding their lands 
with alfalfa, which secures to them green pastures during 
the year. 

Besides this method of securing green feed, we have 
large tule ranges which furnish green feed during the sum- 
mer, when the hills and plains are parched and bare. 
These fields are now occupied by bands of stock that 
might readily be replaced by milch cows. 

Along the Sacramento River, Elk Slough, and the tules 
bordering the grain lands, are several very fine dairy farms, 
possessing the advantages of continual green feed, though 
this is in a measure counteracted, in the minds of many, 
by the danger to stock from floods ; hence, they prefer the 
foot-hill farms or ranges. 

Green's Dairy. 

Among these farms are some worthy of special mention, 
as being noted for the excellence of their products, the 
number of the cows milked, and the value of the locations. 
The farm of J. B, Green, on the Sacramento River, in Mer- 
ritt's Township, is peculiarly adapted to dairying, and its 
natural advantages have been much improved by system- 
atic cultivation. The grazing lands are situated on both 
sides of the Sacramento River — a large portion of the farm 
lying in Sacramento County. That portion which lies in 
Yolo County is situated on the island formed by Elk Slough 
and the river, and extends from the river to the slough, af- 
fording abundance of water, independent of the tule swamps. 



76 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

A large portion of the rancli is covered with tule swamp, 
which affords excellent range during the summer months. 
The high lands along the river bank are protected by a 
levee, and a large portion of them are sown to alfalfa, 
which produces luxuriantly. Here can be seen the advan- 
tages of green feed and root feeding, as applied to milch 
cows. Mr. Green depends on the winter trade principally, 
hence his cows bring their calves in the fall. Through the 
fall and winter, when butter commands a high price, espe- 
cially if it is yellow, fresh and sweet, he has a large share 
of the market to himself, as but few of the dairymen are 
similarly situated. 

The garden land on his place produces squash and root 
feed for his cows, while the alfalfa fields are ever green and 
inviting. If, as is sometimes the case, high water drives 
his cows from the fields for a few days or weeks, the pro- 
duce of the garden supplies the animals with nutritious food 
suitable for their situation. By this means his stock is 
healthy, and capable of producing an excellent quality of 
butter, which at all times commands an extra price, be the 
market ever so dull; for good table butter is not the rule in 
this State, whatever it may be elsewhere. Eighty cows are 
milked on this farm. 

Cave's Dairy. 

Mr. Cave, on Merritt's Island, has a fine dairy farm, also 
well stocked with choice cows. He has the advantage of 
green feed also, having fields of alfalfa as well as the tule 
lands. The range is smaller than that of which we have 
spoken, but it is not inferior in quality. Butter is the 
principal product, little or no cheese being made along the 
river. 

Other Dairies in Merritt's. 

On the ranch of Mr. Chiles, a large dairy is kept, averag- 
ing about forty cows. On this ranch alfalfa is grown on 
the high lands. Following up the river, we find Messrs. 
Trumpler, Babel, Payne and several others, engaged in 



YOLO COUNTY. 77 

dairying, to a greater or less extent. On Elk Slougli, Messrs. 
Feeon, Goan, Hindsdill and others, are working into the 
same business, in connection with stock. 

Choice Cows. 

Mr. Curtis, eighteen miles below^ Washington, has a 
choice lot of cows, which comprise selections from the best 
stock in the county. The cows of Mr. Babel are principal- 
ly Durham and rank second to none, and those who desire 
to improve their stock should visit his ranch and examine 
them. 

Conrad's Farm. 

From this locality to Washington we find several small 
lots of cows, but none of any particular note, until we reach 
the ranch of Mr. Conrad, one mile below Washington. 
Here is one of the best dairy farms on the river and we find 
it occupied by a small but choice lot of cows. With a suf- 
ficient stock, this farm could be one of the first dairy farms 
in the county. 

Bryte's Dairy. 

About one mile above Washington is the dairy farm of 
Mr. Bryte. One hundred cows are milked on this place, 
the milk being sold in Sacramento City. This is a very 
valuable farm, with a large extent of good pasturage. The 
tules and river range supply green feed during the greater 
part of the season. Further up the river is the dairy of 
Mr. Comstock, where a small and choice lot of cows are 
kept and butter manufactured. The cattle range of this 
farm partakes of the general characteristics mentioned — tule 
and alfalfa. We might enumerate several small lots along 
the river, but enough has been mentioned to show the gen- 
eral character of the dairy farms along the river and the 
quality of the stock. 

Tule House Dairy. 
Leaving the river, we will glance at the dairy of S. Enos, 
at the old Tule House. From eighty to one hundred cows

are milked at tliis place. The proprietor has turned his 
attention to manufacturing cheese and has achieved an en- 
viable reputation in that line. The cheese room and dairy- 
are well worth visiting by those who wish to be initiated in 
the mysteries of cheese making. It is without doubt one 
of the finest cheese dairies in the State and conducted in 
the most systematic manner. The evidences of this fact 
consist in the reputation established and the prices obtain- 
ed for the products of the dairy. On this ranch the feed 
of the cows during the summer is the tule range^ — nothing 
but wild feed. In the winter the cows are removed to a 
hill ranch in Buckeye Township, where their feed is the 
wild hill grasses and wild oats. There is no alfalfa or tame, 
feed of any kind, yet as good an article of cheese is made 
as can be purchased in the State or elsewhere. 



Swingle's Dairy. 

About five miles from the Tule House Eanch is the dairy 
farm of G. W. Swingle, at the sink of Putah Creek, where 
one hundred cows are kept and butter manufactured. This 
ranch also possesses the advantage of green feed, having a 
large tule range. 

Carey's Dairy. 

Some three miles beyond Swingle's is the dairy of Mr. 
Carey, where upwards of a hundred cows are kept and but- 
ter manufactured. This ranch also possesses an extensive 
tule range, aifording ample green feed for the stock. These 
are among the largest dairies located along the river and 
on the swamp lands, with the exception of the 

G-rand Island Dairies. 

On this island there are three dairies, owned as follows : 
J. P. Bullock, sixty-six cows ; Gwinn & Long, one hun- 
dred ; Hanna, thirty. These dairies are all engaged in 
butter-making and meeting with deserved success. The 
stock is also fed on the tule marshes. 



YOLO COUNTY. 79 

Scott's Dairy. 

From tliese lands we will glance at some of the hill dairy 
farms and then leave the subject. In Buckeye Township, 
we find several small lots of cows, kept for dairying pur- 
poses. C. Scott, near Cottonwood, has a choice lot of 
twenty cows, from which he manufactures both butter and 
cheese, according to the season. His range is the wild 
feed and wild oats of the surrounding hills, yet he finds no 
difficulty in preparing an excellent article of butter, thus 
demonstrating that, with proper care, the quality of butter 
or cheese is not impaired by the wild grasses indigenous 
o California. 

It may be well to consider whether the introduction of 
foreign grasses suitable for dairy stock is essential to suc- 
cessful butter-making ; but, whether it be so or otherwise, 
it is evident that econony demands a change for the better, 
if such be possible. Under another heading, this subject 
will be considered more in detail. 

The number of dairy or milch cows in the county is 
three thousand three hundred and thirty, valued at one 
hundred and sixty-six thousand five hundred dollars. The 
value of the dairy product is one hundred thousand dol- 
lars. 

The Grazing 

Interest of the county next claims our attention. As the 
matter now stands, this interest is mainly confined to the 
tule marshes, the foot-hills and mountains. The tules 
present the best summer range, the hills are better adapt- 
ed to winter and spring gi-azing. But little space on the 
grain lands is occupied by stock, owing to several causes, 
chief of which is the fence law, which provides that stock- 
men shall guard their stock. In accordance with this law, 
it becomes necessary for stock-men to either guard their 
stock or fence their ranges. The former method being 
very uncertain, the latter very expensive, the plains were 
gradually given up to grain-culture and the stock sought 
the tules and mountains. 



80 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

The grazing lands of the county are all claimed or occu- 
pied. There is a vast range of unsurveyed lands in the 
mountains, but, owing to the fact that enterprising men 
have entered the land lying along and commanding the wa- 
ter courses and springs, it is of no value or use to any one 
but those owners. 

The main reliance for feed in the hills is wild oats, which 
grow luxuriantly in the first ranges. In the small valleys 
and along the water courses, a species of clover grows in 
great abundance. The hillsides produce very early feed, 
which becomes ripe and dry about the first of June, in 
which state it retains its nourishment, possessing the prop- 
erties of well-cured hay. In favorable locations in the 
mountains the stock do well throughout the year. Such 
has been the case heretofore, with the exception of the re- 
markable droughts of '63-4. 

On the plains, or portions of them, the wild oats would 
thrive remarkably, were it not for the continual plowing to 
which they are subjected. Clover, salt-grass and bunch- 
grass, with a few other varieties, form the body of indige- 
nous grasses of the State, and thus the plains of Yolo County 
present no exception to the rule. The yield of natural grass 
per acre averages about one-fourth the amount of feed real- 
ized from the average Eastern grazing farms. We do not 
include the tule marshes, which present a better showing in 
quantity, if not in quality. The grazing lands of the county, 
if properly reclaimed and seeded, would provide sustenance 
for a body of stock far larger than they now support. In- 
cluding as they do a large part of the county (three hun- 
dred and sixty thousand acres), it is evident to all that they 
could and should be made to provide a large share of the 
county's wealth. Were they in the proper condition for 
pasturage, the stock interest would soon outweigh all others, 
and the county would be rich in the herds alone. As it 
now is, the grazing is barely sufficient to maintain stock for 
home use. In this connection we will consider the value of 
a clover, still but little known or cultivated.. 



YOLO COUNTY. 81 



Alfalfa. 

It lias been but a few years since this clover came under 
consideration in this State, yet it is already creating con- 
siderable attention among stock-growers and dairy-men. It 
forms the only green feed we have during the dry season, 
apart from the tule marshes. Farmers are rapidl}^ adopt- 
ing it in various parts of the county, and already look upon 
it as being indispensable to the future prosperity of stock- 
growers. It is claimed for this clover that it is perennial, 
furnishing an equal amount of green feed in wet and dry 
seasons. It will yield as much or more feed on one acre of 
ground as is produced from six acres of the natural grasses. 
It will yield in hay an amount equal to six acres of natural 
grass, and many claim to cut as much hay from one acre of 
alfalfa as can be cut from ten acres in a wild state. Ten 
tons to the acre of alfalfa, when well rooted, is not uncom- 
mon, while an acre of natural hay rarely gives over one ton. 

We have visited several beautiful fields of alfalfa lately, 
among which was the field of N. Wyckoff, Esq., near "Wood- 
land, who has devoted much time to experimenting with 
this clover, and now has about sixty acres, as green and 
thrifty now (August 20tli) as in the eal'ly spring when the 
ground was saturated with water. A portion of this — about 
fifteen acres — is kept for seed; the remaining portion is 
used for pasturage. 

We will chronicle his experience, as that is of far more 
interest and value to our readers than any crude observa- 
tions of our own. First, regarding the necessary qualifi- 
cations of the soil: It should be deep, loose and strong, 
allowing the root to strike deep enough to reach perpetual 
moisture, to assure a good stand or growth. This requisite 
obtained, the ground should be carefully tilled, summer 
fallowed, if necessary to remove all foul weeds. The seed 
should be sown in the spring, and with no other crop, from 
fifteen to twenty pounds being sown to the acre. Great 
care should be taken in securing seed free from foul weeds, 
and otherwise of good quality. When the stand has reached 
6 



82 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

a height of eight or ten inches, feeding can commence with- 
out injury to the plant, if not fed so close that the roots are 
injured. It seems to grow uaore rapidly in the very warmest 
weather, and to be insensible to the ills which affect other 
grasses in seasons of drought. During the month of June 
last, when the thermometer ranged from one hundred de- 
grees upward, the clover in the fields spoken of grew with 
marvelous rapidity. It seemed to delight in the excessive 
heat and take a new growth, covering the ground with a 
carpet of green that contrasted most favorably with the dry, 
parched fields adjoining. The amount of hay on the ground 
uncut was estimated by Mr. Wyckoff at five tons per acre. 
When cut for hay, four crops are easily gathered in one sea- 
son, and the fields are then pastured through the fall and 
winter. When grown for the seed, the fields are fed until 
the middle of April, and then two crops of seed are gath- 
ered, and the stock again turned on. From eight acres of 
clover in 1869, Mr. Wyckoff secured about five tons of seed, 
which sold readily for twenty-fi\e cents per pound. From 
the same ground he will harvest six tons of seed this sea- 
son. He has been at great pains to secure perfectly clean 
seed, and has met with entire success. His arrangements 
for threshing and cleaning are brought to perfection, and 
the increased demand for the seed evinces the regard in 
which it is held, as compared with the imported article. 
This season the price has been fixed at twenty cents per 
pound, and a large supply will be kept there for honje use. 

In connection with this, we gathered many interesting 
facts regarding the culture of this plant, which we cannot 
refrain from giving a place in these pages. The clover that 
he cuts for seed paid him three hundred dollars per acre, 
before he made a specialty of it. He is now (August 15tli) 
harvesting his first crop, which will yield three tons of seed. 
Other lauds which were pastured yielded him seventy-five 
dollars per acre for the season. He estimates that one acre 
of this land in alfalfa Avill sustain as much stock as ten 
acres, when in its natural state, or with any other species 
of feed that can be successfully grown in this climate. 

He first experimented with it in '55-6, but owing to the 



YOLO COUNTY. 83 

seed being foul he abandoned those fields and replowed 
them. Noticing the fondness of the stock for the few 
bunches that would not be killed, he concluded to try it 
again, being convinced that it was just the thing for dry- 
seasons and stock . Some of the planting of '55 still re- 
mains, despite the continual wheat culture, annually reaching 
a growth of five feet and upward in height, showing that 
it is worthy of its German name — "Everlasting Clover." 
It shows moreover that when it once has taken root, it is 
extremely hard to eradicate, but continues to increase from 
year to year. Around Woodland are many fields of from 
one to fifty acres in extent, the owners of which speak in 
the. highest terms of its value. About twelve hundred acres 
were seeded during the last spring, and the number will be 
largely increased this coming seeding season. 

The successive cropping of wheat, as practiced by the 
farmers, has seriously impoverished their lands in many 
instances, and will eventually tell on the strongest soils. 
Aware of this, many are preparing for a change, and will 
proceed to plant alfalfa in lieu of grain, not alone for the 
profit, but to enrich their lands. 

This clover, called by many Chile Clover, has long been 
grown with marked success in Chile. We have seen vast 
fields of it there, on soil similar — perhaps inferior — to thou-- 
sands of acres in this county. With a climate similar to 
that, we have the same or greater advantages otherwise 
necessary to insure success. In that state it has almost 
entirely superseded all native grasses. It is supposed by 
many that it is a native of Chile, but this is an error. It is 
a native of Southern Europe, where it is known under the 
name of Lucerne, from a canton in Switzerland, where we 
first learn of it. 

In a paper read before the American Institute Farmers' 
Club, by Mr. Curtis, we find the folloAving description of 
the clover, in which the reader who is at all acquainted 
with alfalfa will recognize it at once. Mr. Curtis, in ex]3a- 
tiating on the Value of this plant for soiling, says : 

"It will grow in the same climate and soil with red 
clover, but needs stronger land, and, being a native of 



84 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

Soutliern Europe, requires, to perfect itself, more sunsliine 
and warmth; but this peculiarity can be remedied, to a 
considerable extent, by a rich soil, a warm exposure and 
stimulating manures. When furnished with these advan- 
tages its rapid growth and the amount of Lucerne which 
can be taken off from a small piece of ground is most as- 
tonishing — from four to six crops being cut in one season 
from the same land. For flesh-forming and nutritive ele- 
ments it is superior to red clover, containing 50.7 parts to 
41.2 in clover. Like clover, it covers the ground with a 
dense shade, thus enriching the soil, while the roots strike 
down into the subsoil to the depth of several feet, defying 
drought and leaving the land in admirable condition for 
subsequent cultivation. Lucerne resembles clover in ap- 
pearance, with a smaller leaf, and if left to ripen has a 
more woody stem. I would not recommend it to take the 
place of clover for general purposes; but I do most em- 
phatically indorse it for a soiling plant, tO meet the great 
want of the dairy-man and stock-breeder. For horses it 
has special merits — not being soft and washy, they are not 
liable to scour on it. It is perennial; once get it rooted, 
and with a clean soil it will thrive for years, yielding its 
successive burdens of richness. The seed is larger than 
clover seed, and when ripe and fresh, glossy and yellow, 
as the sample shows. They can be obtained of any first- 
class dealer at fifty cents per pound. The crop may be 
sowed with grain — rye being the best — but it is preferable 
to sow it alone, from eight to ten pounds per acre." . 

Mr. Curtis was writing for another people and gave the 
experience of another climate ; therefore, a portion of his 
remarks cannot apply to the cultivation of Lucerne or 
alfalfa here. "We quoted them, however, to show the esti- 
mation in which^ the plant is held in the East, where the 
finest qualities of clovers and grasses arrive at perfection; 
also to show that alfalfa and Lucerne are one and the same, 
having its origin elsewhere than on the American Conti- 
nent. Germans readily recognize it as their "Everlasting 
Clover," and the Swiss welcome it as the Lucerne of their 



YOLO COUNTY. 85 

native valleys, where it is held in the highest estimation 
both as a fertilizer and soiling plant. 

Thousands of acres in this county are peculiarly adapted 
to its growth, and vast wealth could be added to the county 
by turning these scantily-clad fields into alfalfa pastures. 
It must prove itself of immense value, as long as fresh- 
green feed is considered essential to successful dairying 
and stock-raising. Ere long many of the worn wheat-fields 
must be abandoned, unless sooner planted to that which 
will enrich, not impoverish them; and this plant seems to 
be the article required. 

Creeks and Sloughs. 

The water-courses of the county, aside from the river, 
are divided into creeks, sloughs and arroyos. The prin- 
cipal creeks are: Caclie Creek, Putah Creek, Cottonwood 
Creek, Dry Creek and Buckeye Creek. 

The principal sloughs are Sutter, Elk, Babel, Willow and 
Sycamore sloughs. 

There are several deep arroyos, among which are : Salt 
Arroyo, Pine Arroyo (or Carion), and several others having 
local names, and others that are nameless. 

The Arroyos 

Are deep mountain ravines — torrents in winter and dry in 
summer, with the exception of the few springs and pools 
found at intervals along their beds. 

Salt Arroyo rises in the first range of high hills, or 
mountains, on Scott's Banch, in Buckeye Township, and 
empties its winter's floods into Buckeye Creek. 

Pine Caiion rises in the same range and on the same 
ranch, emptying its waters into Salt Arroyo. There are 
several arroyos heading in to the same range of hills, 
which, coursing northward, reach Cache Creek, well up in 
Capay Yalley. The sj)rings found in their beds serve as 
watering places for stock, there being but few found else- 
where in this range of hills. 



86 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

Deep Arroyo. 

This arroyo, or slougli, heads in the southeast corner of 
Buckeye Township, and follows a northeast course for 
about eight miles. It probably connected with Willow 
Slough at one time, and is doubtless the old bed of Buck- 
eye Creek. It is known as " Dry Slough," in Plainfield, 
where it approaches Willow Slough. 

About one mile from Putah Creek, and extending paral- 
lel with it for about three miles, is another arroyo, or 
slough, possessing many of the remarkable features of 
Willow Slough, such as large ponds of fresh, pure and cold 
water, fed, doubtless, from the same source. 

Willow Slough. 

This remarkable stream differs ix(fta all others within the 
county, inasmuch as its waters are supplied by springs 
clear and cold as those flowing from the mountain gorges. 
It first makes its appearance on the farm of Abram Barnes, 
about nine miles southwest from Woodland, rising from a 
large spring, or pond, whose waters cover an area of per- 
haps one-fourth of an acre. From this spring, or pond, a 
succession of pond-holes occur for about six miles, united 
with each other only during the rainy season. The general 
course of the stream is southwest until it reaches Grayson's 
Ranch, where its course is about due east for two miles 
further. 

At Grayson's, the springs, or pond-holes, become more 
numerous, and are united at all seasons — in summer, by a 
shallow rivulet, in places ten to fifteen feet wide. From 
Grayson's east two miles we come to the head of the slough 
proper, near Merritt's Bridge, where it deflects to the 
north, and, following a northeasterly course, discharges its 
waters in the tule marshes, about fifteen miles from the 
first large spring mentioned, including the sinuosities of its 
course. 

At Merritt's Bridge, or near there, the first large body 
of water begins, and extends in one unbroken sheet — aver- 



YOLO COUNTY. 87 

aging about fifty yards in width — for a distance of two and 
one-half miles. Its greatest depth, so far as has been 
ascertained, is seventy-five feet, and in no place is it less 
than from six to ten feet. As a general rule, the banks are 
abrupt and the bed composed of gravel. 

Two and one-half miles from the bridge the slough passes 
through Dr. Euddock's Eanch, where the main body of 
water is divided by a riffle of about one hundred and 
eighty or two hundred rods in length. In this distance the 
water falls several feet, there being a fall of nearly or quite 
eight feet on the Doctor's place. 

At the foot of the riffle the slough again assumes the 
proportions of a river, and continues so for about two and 
one-half miles further, or until it reaches Eyon's Crossing^ 
nearly east from Woodland. This second division has the 
same general appearance attributed to the division already 
described, though it fticks some of the charms which char- 
acterize the other. 

From Eyon's Eanch toward the tules, its fair proportions 
are somewhat curtailed, the character of its bed and banks 
materially changed, owing to the difi'erent kinds of soil 
through which it passes; and thence through the marshes 
the slough presents but little of interest or beauty. Pass- 
ing by the lower division, we will briefly glance at the two 
portions separated by the riffle. These two large bodies 
of water are clear, cold, and well supplied with many varie- 
ties of fish. In bathing in the stream, one finds the pres- 
ence of large and strong currents of chilly water — so cold, 
in fact, that during the warmest part of the season the tem- 
perature of the whole body is too cold for pleasure a few 
feet beneath the sui'face; and if a vessel be sunk to any 
considerable depth, the water so obtained will be found 
cold as the mountain springs. 

The volume of water passing over the riffle at Dr. Eud- 
dock's place will probably reach one hundred thousand 
gallons in twentj'-four hours at the lowest stage of water. 
From this, one can form some idea of the number and size 
of the springs which supply this remarkable stream. That 
the sources of supply have not their origin in the land 



88 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

immediately surrounding or bordering on the slough, is 
evident from the vast difference observable between the 
taste and properties of the water obtained by boring, or 
that which is taken from the slough. The water obtained 
from wells — and especially those at some distance from the 
slough — is hard, heavily charged with minerals, and in 
some instances brackish and saline, while the waters of the 
slough are the reverse. It is evident that the numerous 
springs which are to be found at intervals along both 
banks of the slough take their rise far away — their hidden 
channels being above the present water-line of the sur- 
rounding plains. 

These curious sj)rings have been the cause of many 
conjectures, arguments and theories regarding their real 
source, as by that is determined the source of "Willow 
Slough. By some tliey are supposed to belong to the gen- 
eral body of water underlying the plains around Woodland, 
at an average depth of about fifteen feet; but this theory is 
untenable, as has been shown by the vast difference in the 
qualities of the two divisions of water. Another and more 
reasonable theory is, that Willow Slough is the continua- 
tion of Cottonwood Creek, which, in summer, sinks at the 
foot of the hills, some eighteen miles west from the first 
springs, or pond-holes. And yet again another theory gives 
to Cache Creek the credit of furnishing Willow Slough 
with its limpid waters. That Cache Creek has at various 
times had other than its present channel is evident. Old 
beds are plainly discernible in several places, and other 
channels have been found beneath the surface, when sink- 
ing wells, that gave no evidence of their presence by the 
formation of the upper soil. From the first pond, on 
Barnes' Eanch, to the old El Dorado Ranch, on Cache 
Creek, the evidences of the old creek bed are numerous 
and plain. The distance — some eight or nine miles — is 
marked at intervals with beds of gravel and deposits of 
sand stratas, and at points the old banks have not been 
entirely obliterated. The level character of the country, 
and the fact that the volume of water materially decreases 
from the time that it leaves the canon £md debouches on 



YOLO COUNTY. 89 

the plains, lends additional strength to the theory. In the 
summer the waters of Cache Creek disappear at intervals, 
or sink in the sand; and it is but reasonable to suppose 
that they follow the old channels far beneath the present 
surface. The hidden waters of Cottonwood Creek doubt- 
less mingle with those of the larger stream, whose under- 
ground currents are not affected by the change of seasons. 

During high water, when the heavy rains have swollen 
Cottonwood Creek to the dimensions of a powerful stream, 
and Cache Creek to a formidable river, their waters are 
united in the overflow, and Cache Creek discharges a large 
volume of water through the Cottonwood Plains, which 
finds an outlet to the tules through Willow Slough. At 
such times the slough is a mighty river, bearing on its tur- 
bulent bosom driftwood from the mountains, as well as 
fences which have been swept from the surrounding plains. 
When the floods have subsided, and Cache Creek has set- 
tled down within its regular channel, and Cottonwood 
Creek does not venture further than the shadows of the 
hills. Willow Slough resumes its placid expression, and re- 
mains with unchanged aspect until the floods again visit it. 

During one of these periodical floods, in March, 1847, 
Joe Buzzy got into his canoe at the north door of Sutter's 
Fort and sailed through the tules and up Willow Slough 
to Gordon's Eanch, on the north side of Cache Creek, 
meeting no greater obstructions than the strength of the 
current. Along the slough, or the two large bodies of 
water composing the main portion, the banks are well 
wooded, the trees and undergrowth thickly interlaced with 
wild grape and other vines, forming a pleasant, shady re- 
treat, where one can .enjoy the sport of angling to his 
heart's content. 

The fish, with which the stream is well furnished, con- 
sists of pike, chub, dace, sunfish and a species of perch, 
very palatable and easy of capture. No trout is found in 
the stream,. though it is evident that they could be culti- 
vated to great advantage, especially the Lake Tahoe varie- 
ty. Fish have been taken from the slough weighing five 
pounds, though the average are much smaller. No effort. 



90 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

as we have learned, lias been made to demonstrate whether 
the slough contains large fish, though there is every indi- 
cation that such is the case. The depth of the water, 
rarely disturbed by natural or artificial agencies, is favor- 
able in the extreme to the various kinds of California fish 
which are invariably found on the bottom of deep streams, 
their habits never bringing them within range of shallow 
fishing. 

On the farm of Dr. Kuddock, which embraces the rip- 
ple and the lower end of the first large body of water, 
are some very singular springs or wells, situated at some 
distance from the main slough and separated therefrom by 
high, firm grain land. These wells are circular in form, 
about sixty feet in diameter and three in number. Their 
depth has never been ascertained, but it is known that 
they reach at least to the level of the bottom of the slough, 
by which they are doubtless fed with water. These wells 
are supplied with fish, some of them being very large, of 
the same varieties as those foand in the main stream. The 
general appearance of these wells is similar to the far- 
famed Humboldt wells, while the water is much superior 
to the taste and for all uses. To those who imagine the 
plains present no objects of curiosity or interest worth ex- 
amining we would recommend a visit to Willow Slough 
and the natural wells on Dr. Kuddock's farm, premising 
that, having done so, their minds would be disabused of 
their first and erroneous impression. 

The sinuosities of the slough probably extend it to about 
fifteen miles in length, that is, that portion which is com- 
prised within the limits spoken of— the first large spring and 
its final discharge into the tule swamp. For the distance 
it abounds in pleasing features — murmuring rivulets, deep 
and broad sheets of water, shady nooks and cosy, vine- 
laced bowers. A sail on the waters or a plunge in their 
cool and bracing depths will well repay one for visiting 
this locality. 

At certain seasons of the year the wild duck can be 
■found here in great numbers, as well as different varieties 
of the wild goose. At no season of the year is the slough 



YOLO COUNTY. 91 

destitute of clucks, but tlie wild goose only remains througli 
the rainy season. 

The value and importance of a body of water like that of 
Willow Slough can hardly be overestimated, especially so 
when we consider the general absence of pure, living sur- 
face water on the plains of this and other counties of the 
State. There is enough flowing over the riffle to supply 
two or three such towns as Woodland with pure, sweet, 
wholesome water, and, should that supply prove inade- 
quate to the demand, nature has provided reservoirs which 
are capable of supplying half the county with water during 
the dry season. Perhaps, when Woodland shall have at- 
tained to the dignity of an incorporated city, and counts 
her inhabitants by thousands instead of hundreds, she will 
look toward this point as the source from whence she wall 
draw a supply of wholesome water with which to provide 
for her population's comfort. 

Elk Slough. 

This slough is one of the outlets of the tule marshes, 
and is supplied entirely from their waters. During the 
summer there is no running water in it, and then it pre- 
sents a series of long, deep ponds, unconnected with each 
other. The head of the slough approaches the river near 
the brick school-house, about nineteen miles below Wash- 
ington. After various meanderings, and having main- 
tained a southerly course, it reaches the river near the 
head of Sutter Slough, about six miles from its -source. 
Along both banks of the slough is a narrow strip of garden 
and grain land,, A'arying in width from liity j'ards to one- 
half a mile. Between the river and the slough the tule 
marshes are shallow and could readily be reclaimed. Be- 
yond the slough the marshes are deep, the water standing 
in large bodies all the season. This portion of the tules 
will probably remain in its present state for many years, 
and it is extremely doubtful whether any effort will ever be 
made to reclaim it. 

The principal occupation of those who reside on the 



92 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

slough is stock-raising and dairying. But little grain is 
grown and but few gardens cultivated. Messrs. Hindsdill, 
Krull and Waterbury are engaged in dairjung on a mod- 
erate scale. Further down the slough we find the King- 
brothers, engaged extensively in stock. They also possess 
some fine grain fields. Still further down are several small 
ranches, where excellent crops of barley were raised this 
season. 

At the ranch of Mr. Feran, where the arable belt is very 
narrow, we find an extensive aviary. Mr. Feran informs us 
that bees thrive exceedingly well when located on any part 
of the high lands bordering the slough. The dense under- 
growth bordering its banks, the multitude of wild flowers 
and vines with which the undergrowth abounds, and the 
vast tule marshes filled with water plants, vines and flowers, 
afford a luxuriant harvest to the tiny laborers. At certain 
seasons of the year the honey-dew is deposited in large 
quantities on the belt of upland, affording another source 
from which they gather their sweet stores. There is some- 
thing singular and at present unexplainable regarding the 
annual fall of this remarkable dew. We do not know of 
this phenomena existing elsewhere than in California, and we 
have never learned of any satisfactory reason for its annual 
appearance. Perhaps some of our savans will investigate 
the matter, and advance some theory regarding its origin. 
The honey-dew is found on the banks of the main sloughs 
of the river, also on the Sacramento, San Joaquin, and 
other rivers of the State, after they have entered the vast 
plains which form the great inland basin of California. The 
same feature may exist elsewhere in the State and out 
of it, for aught we know to the contrary; but if so, we have 
seen no mention made of the fact. 

The wild blackberry grows in great profusion along both 
banks of the slough, attaining the finest flavor of any we 
have seen in the State. Thousands of gallons are annually 
gathered here and along the river for the Sacramento and 
San Francisco market, where they find ready sales and fair 
prices. It is probable that a profitable source of industry 
could be inaugurated by cultivating and improving the wild 



YOLO COUNTY. 93 

blackberry. The fruit arrives at maturity in its wild state 
in advance of any of tlie varieties now cultivated, and 
doubtless careful cultivation would imjDrove both the quality, 
quantity and the time of maturity. The experiment is cer- 
tainly worth trying. 

Bable's Slough. 

This slough connects the tule with the Sacramento Eiver, 
having its outlet in the marshes, about five miles from 
Bable's Ranch, where it leaves the river. Its course is 
southwest for about half its length, when it turns to the 
southeast, and follows that course until lost in the marshes. 
Along its banks are some good grazing, and, in ordinary 
seasons, grain farms. The breadth of land is wider than 
that of Elk Slough, though its average height is less, sub- 
jecting it more frequently to overflow. As it approaches 
the river, the land rises considerably, and at the river the 
banks have never been submerged. On the fifteenth of May, 
1849, Mr. F. Babel settled at this point, and has remained 
there since. He was the first settler in this part of the 
county, and from him the slough derives its name. It 
has long been a noted point on the river — one of the old 
land-marks which has not changed with the intervening 
years. The old sycamore tree fronting the farm house can 
be seen for a long distance either way from the decks of the 
passing steamers. At the foot of this old sycamore, the 
bodies of two men were recovered, who were drowned in 
the floods of '62, and their bodies were buried near the 
roots of the old monarch of the river. 

The floods which have at times swept over the low lands 
have never reached the high ground on which the buildings 
are situated, though portions of the farm have been sub- 
merged. 

The land here, as well as that along the slough, is adapted 
to stock, and the ranchers in this locality follow this occupa- 
tion. BabeFs Eanch, Ristine's Eanch, and that of the Du 
Bose Brothers (further up the river), are fine stock farms, 
and some of the best stock in the county is found there.

Islands. 

In counection with the lands bordering these sloughs, we 
will give a short description of one of the largest islands in 
the county, formed bj one of the streams which we have 
named and the river. Y> e refer to 



Merritt's Island. » 

This island, from which Merritt Township takes its name, 
is formed by Sutter and Elk sloughs and the Sacramento 
River. It is bounded on the south by Satter Slough, west 
and north by Elk Slough, and on the east by the Sacra- 
mento River. Elk Slough is filled, or partially so, at each 
end, and has no running water in the summer. Sutter 
Slough is a large arm of the river, but, owing to snags and 
other obstructions, is unnavigable. 

Merritt's Island may be considered as the extreme south- 
ern part of the county, some few farms, however, lying on 
the other side of Sutter Slough. There are a few farms 
Ijing west of Elk Slough and on the northwestern bank 
of Sutter Slough that are as far to the southward as the 
southern end of Merritt's Island, and one or two extend 
a little below the southern line. By the river road from 
the extreme southern end of the island to Woodland is 
about fortj^-five miles, owing to the tortuous course of 
the river, whose banks present the only high ground on 
which a road could be located. 

The island is about eight miles long, with an average 
width of two miles. Along the river, which has nearly a 
north and south course at this particular point, the garden, 
or high land, has an average width of about seventy rods, 
wdiich is protected by a substantial levee, over which the 
highest floods have not risen. On Elk Slough the island 
has a frontage of high land, averaging about thirty rods in 
width, unprotected by a levee. The intervening land, be- 
tween the slough and river, is a shallow tule swamp, in 
which but little water stands during the summer, affording 
excellent range for stock of all kinds. This land is very 



YOLO COUNTY. 95 

productive, when cultivated, and were it reclaimed its 
value could liardly be overestimated. The island contains 
four thousand nine hundred and fifty-three acres, of which 
about three thousand are in tule. 

During the dry year, when grain crops i|bre almost a 
total failure through the county, Mr. Green broke a portion 
of this tule with three horses, and planted it to barley on 
the twenty-eighth of April. The yield was forty bushels 
to the acre. A plan is now under consideration by which 
the island may be reclaimed; and the project is certainly 
feasible. It is proposed to segregate the island from the 
district in which it is located, and create of it a separate 
swamp land district. Then, by leveeing on Elk and Sutter 
sloughs. Joining the river levees at each end of the island, 
the back-water (which now caus^es the overflow) could be 
kept out and the whole body of the land be reclaimed. 
Whether this will be accomplished is probably simply a 
question of time, as most of the land-owners are in favor 
of the measure. The expense would be heavy, but the 
increased value of the land would more than compensate 
for the outlay. The island was settled in 1851, by J. B. 
Green, Mr. Cave and several others — some of whom still 
remain in their original locations. 

While speaking of islands, it may be well to glance at 

Grand Island, 

The largest island in the county limits, and one of the 
largest in the Sacramento Eiver. About twelve or fifteen 
miles in length of this island lies within the county limits, 
the remainder in Colusa County. It possesses a luxuriant 
soil, suitable for grain, orchards, gardens or gi-azing. The 
more elevated portions of the island are devoted to grain 
growing, the remainder to stock ranges. Some very fine 
orchards are on the island — one within the limits of Co- 
lusa County, of grand proportions. 

Sycamore Slough 
Is an arm or branch of the Sacramento Kiver, which leaves 



96 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

the main bed in Colusa County, to find it again near 
Knight's Landing or Grafton. About fifteen miles of its 
course are within the borders of this county, the larger 
portion of which lies through tule marshes. During the 
season of higfc water, the slough is full and strongly de- 
fined, but during the summer there is no running water in 
its course. It does not possess high banks, like Elk or 
Babel Slough, with the exception of tiiat portion near 
Knight's Lauding, where are some splendid farms along its 
course. 

Cache Creek. 

This beautiful stream has its source in Clear Lake, Lake 
County. From thence it flows southeast, through Cache 
Creek Canon for twenty miles, until it reaches the head of 
Capay Valley. Continuing its southeast course for about 
fifteen miles, it then turns to the eastward, and five miles 
from this point leaves Capay Valley and debouches on the 
plains. From Lang's its course is south of east for a few 
miles, or to the east end of the Gordon Grant, where it 
turns to the northward and, following a general northeast 
course, enters the tule swamps near Laugenour's Ranch, 
the "sink" being about twenty miles from where it left 
Capay Valley. 

For the first twenty miles, through Cache Creek Canon, 
the scenery is quite grand and impressive. Flowing 
through a rugged range of mountains, cleft asunder, as it 
were, from tox3 to bottom, it presents precipitous walls of 
solid slate and granite bare of verdure, while, on either 
hand, the gulches and ravines which occasionally force 
their way through the solid walls, dark and gloomy in their 
wild grandness, are lined with a dense growth of chapar- 
ral. This is a favorite haunt for deer, bear and other 
game, who roam free and undisturbed in this wild region. 
The hunter rarely troubles them with his presence, and the 
canon is as free from the settler's influence to-day as it was 
when Mr. Gordon first ascended its rocky bed, thirty years 
ago. The stream is well supplied with fish of excellent 
varieties, but we note the absence of the mountain trout. 



YOLO COUNTY. ^7 

There is an abundance of water-power, which at some day 
will be turned to good account in driving machinery. 

Through Capay Valley the stream winds among giant 
oaks, which dot vast fields of grain in inviting groves and 
pleasant retreats from the summer's scorchn% sun. 

Without doubt the loveliest part of Yolo County is Capay 
Valley, when clothed with the verdure of spring and enliv- 
ened by the murmuring waters of Cache Creek, which 
meanders through it- at this time of the year a formidable 
river. 

At the mouth of Capay Valley, or at Lang's, is the Hun- 
gry Hollow Ford, which is considered safe at most seasons 
of the year. Below this place are several fords at intervals, 
and at Cacheville and Nelson's Eancli are substantial 
bridges. 

During the season of drought the creek bed is dry at 
intervals on the plains, owing to the water ditches which 
deploy the main volume of water from its natural bed, 
and to the general sinkage of the water in the sands. Still 
there is .enough for stock purposes, standing in pools or 
springs. It also supplies the following 



Agricultural Ditches. 

There are three ditches located on Cache Creek, two of 
which are completed and in use : 

The Cacheville Agricultural Ditch heads on the north 
side of the creek, about five miles above Cacheville. This 
ditch is used for irrigation and also as the motive power of 
the Cacheville flour mills. Value, five thousand dollars. 

The Woodland Agricultural Ditch, or Moore's Ditch, 
taps the creek on the south side, about ten miles from 
Woodland. This ditch is used solely for irrigation, cover- 
ing that section of the county around Woodland and lying 
between that point and the creek. Value, ten thousand 
dollars. 

Stephens' Ditch, which taps the creek on the south side, 
well up in Capay Valley, would afford water for a large 
7 



98 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

scope of country around Cottonwood. Tliis ditch has been 
partially completed, but, owing to the loss of the dam by 
floods, it is at present unused and unvalued. 

Putah Creek. 

This stream rises in Big Caiion, Lake County, about 
tAvelve miles from the source of Cache Creek, and follows 
in a southerly direction for several miles, when it turns 
to the eastward, and, after traversing a portion of Napa 
County, forms the southern boundary of Yolo County for 
about thirty miles, when it sinks in the tule marshes at 
Montgomery's Eanch, in Putah Township, about eighty 
miles from its source. 

The headwaters of Putah Creek, in Big Canon, rise in 
one large spring, which gushes out from the mountain side 
about fifty feet above the bed of the gulch, clear, cold and 
sparkling as the waters of the Sierras. The volume of 
water measures two hundred and fifty inches, and is secured 
in ponds, ditches and reservoirs, forming Koberts' Trout 
Farm. 

The canon is alive with mountain trout, the larger of 
which reach a weight of three pounds. From this spring, 
through Big Canon, the scenery is grand, wild and rugged. 
The mountains are covered with pine and oak, and a favor- 
ite resort for various kinds of wild animals, deer and bear 
predominating. After entering Putah Canon the stream is 
increased in volume by the addition of several minor 
creeks, though at no time does it average in size with 
Cache Creek. 

During the winter rains the creek rises very suddenly, 
often overflowing its banks and sweeping everything before 
it; but these floods last but for a few days, and often but 
for a few hours. The water-shed of this creek is much less 
than that of Cache Creek, which drains the whole of the 
Clear Lake country. 

G-ardens of Putah Creek. 
On Putah Creek are the famed early gardens of the 



YOLO COUNTY. 99 

State. These gardens are in both Yolo and Solano coun- 
ties, and justly rank among the most valuable in the State. 
The produce from this section generally reaches San Fran- 
cisco in advance of any other, and at a time when enor- 
mous prices are realized for fruit and vegembles. Peaches, 
grapes, pears, etc., ripen here from six to ten days in 
advance of any part of the State accessible to San Fran- 
cisco, with the exception of Edgar's Garden, in Yolo 
County, which possesses the same advantages though situ- 
ated in another part of the foothills. These gardens now 
afford projfitable employment to a number of men, and they 
will doubtless be increased in size as fast as practicable, 
until the garden land of the foothills shall all be under 
cultivation. 

Buckeye Creek. 

This stream rises in the foothills of Buckeye Township, 
formed by Pine Canon and Salt Arroyos. It is dry in sum- 
mer, but in winter it has a channel of several miles in 
length, which traverses the plains in a westerly direction, 
its waters passing off through Deep Arroyo and Willow 
Slough to the tule marshes about fifteen miles from its 
source. Deep Arroyo is probably the old bed of Buckeye 
Creek, through which its waters found an uninterrupted 
channel to the slough in the olden time, when there was 
more water in these channels than has been known within 
the memory of the " oldest settler." 

Cottonwood Creek. 

This stream rises from a spring on Scott's Mountain 
Banch, about seven miles from the plains, and follows a 
northeast course until it approaches the south corner of the 
Canada de Capay Grant, when it turns to the southeast and 
is lost in the cottonwood plains. During the winter, when 
the channel is full, the waters of Cottonwood find their 
outlet in Willow Slough, twelve miles from where it enters 
the plains, nineteen or twenty miles from its source. 

This stream is dry during the summer, with the excep- 



100 THE WESTEKN SHOEE GAZETTEER. 

tion of tlie main mountain spring and an occasional spring 
or pond-hole along its course, until it reaches the plains, 
where these disappear. 

Dry Creek. 

Dry Creek is formed by numerous arroyos and gulches, 
which, leaving the foothills in the northwestern part of the 
county, unite and form this stream near the base of the 
range. The general course of the stream is west north- 
west, for' about fifteen miles from its source, where it dis- 
charges its winter floods in the tule marshes hear Dunigan's 
Eanch. This stream is dry in the summer, as its name de- 
notes, with the exception of a few springs in its mountain 
gulches ; but during the winter rains, quite a large volume 
of water reaches the tules through its channel. 

Water. 

Yolo County is very well watered by the streams enumer- 
ated, sufficiently so to render it a good stock country; but, 
aside from that, it would be considered rather deficient in 
this necessary element. It is true that springs are rare on 
the plains, but water is readily obtained by boring in any 
locality. Around Woodland the water is hard, and strongly 
impregnated with mineral. The average depth at which 
water is obtained is about eighteen feet. The Court-house 
well is sunk one hundred and thirty feet, for the purpose of 
testing whether a flowing well could be obtained here as 
well as in other valleys, but the projectors quit their labors 
before the question was decided. At that depth a stream 
was struck which produces excellent water, though no colder 
than some other wells near by, of much less depth. In the 
section bordering the tules the water is from six to ten feet 
below the surface, but the wells are generally bored through 
the first stream and into the under channels, from twenty to 
thirty feet below the surface. In the vicinity of Putah 
Creek the wells average from twelve to fifteen feet, and the 
quality of the water is good, though hard. In the gravel- 
belt spoken of, the wells range from thirty feet downward. 



YOLO COUNTY. 101 

the well at Webster's Blacksmitli shop being but eight feet 
deep, and the water rising within four feet of the surface. 
Around Cottonwood the wells average about twenty-two feet, 
and around Buckeye they are from two to five feet less in 
depth. Skirting the foothills the wells are deeper, in some 
cases the wells being tubed one hundred and fifty feet, the 
water rising within forty and forty-five feet of the surface. 
This is the case on Scott's Farm, where two wells but a mile 
apart present this difference. One is sunk one hundred and 
fifty feet, the water being within forty-five feet of the sur- 
face, while the other is sunk but forty-five feet and the wa- 
ter rises within thirty-five feet of the top. A mile from the 
latter well is one on the same ranch, twenty-five feet deep, 
and supplied with pure, soft water. We note another well 
about two miles from the latter, also soft water, and about 
the same depth. With but few exceptions the well water is 
hard throughout the county, and in some sections salt and 
brackish. Such is the case along a strip of land lying back 
of Knight's Landing and bordering on the tule marshes. The 
coldest well water obtained in the county is along the Sac- 
ramento River, where many wells are found whose waters 
resemble in taste those of the mountain springs. The aver- 
age depth of water, as reached throughout the county, might 
be put at twenty feet; the general quality hard and slightly 
mineral. 

Sulphur Springs. 

In Cottonwood Canon, Salt Arroyo and in several locali- 
ties among the foothills are several springs strongly impreg- 
nated with sulphur. None have been turned to any purpose 
as yet, the water not being in sufficient quantities to make 
them of much note. Their medicinal qualities have never 
been tested, except by thirsty wanderers, and the stock 
which frequent the watering-places. The latter having 
never expressed an opinion regarding the merits of these 
waters, and as we have no other reliable authority on this 
point, we are compelled to remain silent. 

Timber. 
The county is comparatively well wooded, though large 



102 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

portions of it are bare of trees, especially portions of tlie 
plains. The foothills and mountains produce several varie- 
ties of timber, including oak and willow or nut-pine. Of 
shrubs, the manzanita, spice or nutmeg tree, wild plum 
and elder are in the ascendency, though there are other 
varieties of less note. Among the oak family are the post 
or white oak, pin oak, shrub oak, red oak, black or moun- 
tain oak, burr oak and water oak. Two varieties — the black 
and red oak — furnish a very good substitute for Eastern oak 
in departments of manufacture. The post oak, both in the 
mountains and on the plains, furnishes material for excel- 
lent posts, preferred by many to ordinary or brash red- 
wood. 

The willow pine is little used, it being valueless for any 
building purposes, where exposed to the weather or resting 
on the ground. There are large bodies of this timber which 
would eventually find a ready market were there means of 
cheap transportation between the canon and points near the 
mining counties, where this wood is used extensively in the 
form of blocks or riffles, for the lining of the flumes and 
tail-races of the mining claims. In the mining sections this 
timber has been exhausted, and these blocks are now hauled 
on wagons for many miles, rendering them very expensive^ 

The laurel is occasionally found in the hills of this county, 
but not in quantities, or of size sufficient to render it of any 
interest or value. Yolo County may be said to possess no 
building or fencing timber within her limits, tlie quality 
and character of her timber rendering it suitable for wood 
alone. With proper care, the supply of wood is sufficient 
for all the county for many years to come, but in manj^ parts 
this care is not exercised, and the county is fast being de- 
nuded of its chief beauty — its noble groves of oaks, which 
are cut into cord-wood and sent to other localities. Wood- 
land, once surrounded by beautiful groves, is almost strip- 
ped of its chief ornament. The traveler who visited this 
county fifteen years ago could not fail of being favorably 
impressed with its well-wooded streams and the tracts of 
oak timber which marked the old water courses. Should 
he return now, he would find but a small portion of this 



YOLO COUNTY. 103 

peculiar beauty remaining. The Americans Lave justly 
been called the exterminators of timber. In no civilized 
country are the laws regarding the wanton waste of timber 
so loosely framed or so little regarded as in our own. And 
with the lessons of the past before us, we have not ceased 
in our insane efforts to destroy the only real beauty to be 
found on these plains. Thousands of cords of oak have 
been destroyed in this county by the timber being felled 
for brush fences and rotting in that position. Thousands of 
cords are annually wasted by the careless, wasteful manner 
in which the trees are worked into wood. And year by year 
the noble oaks are felled, long before their prime, that the 
money realized from their sales may be drawing interest for 
their former owners. A few years hence and the effect of 
this wanton destruction of timber will be felt, when Cache 
Creek and the plains shall be stripped of their groves and 
left bare and dreary. 

All are aware, or should be, of the gi-eat influence exerted 
on the atmosphere, the water and the health of a community 
by the timber. Take, for example, the changes that have 
occurred, compare the present with the past of those lands 
once heavily timbered but now stripped of their forests. 
A. scarcity of water, warmer summers, colder winters, and 
diseases before unknown are among the results plainly at- 
tributed to the destruction of the forests. There is an excuse 
for the total removal of timber from fields in countries where 
the necessities of agriculture demand it. But that excuse 
is not valid when urged in extenuation of the crime — for we 
can call it by no milder name — by which these plains are 
being shorn of their most valuable ornament. And we 
make this plea for the preservation of these grand old oaks 
from wanton destruction, in hopes that some lovers of na- 
ture may be induced to spare the timber as much and as 
long as j)0ssible, that the coming generations may partake 
of the natural beauties and advantages so lavishly bestowed 
on their ancestors. If this suicidal course is continued, 
and no timber planted, Yolo Count}^ will be compelled to 
import fire-wood ere fifty years shall elapse. And when 
the groves of oaks are no more, the changes in climate, health 



104 THE WESTEKN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

and fertility will attest the folly of those wlio tlius wantonly 
transgress tlie laws of nature and of reason. Plant timber; 
rather plant an acre than destroy a tree without just cause. 
If farmers would plant say ten or twenty acres of their one 
hundred and sixty, to timber of rapid growth, within ten, 
at the farthest fifteen, years these plains would become the 
loveliest part of the State. Aside from the advantages of 
health, comfort and beauty, these bodies of timber would 
become sources of great and lasting wealth. The locust, 
w^alnut, black walnut, white walnut or butternut, the pecan, 
and other valuable woods, grow readily and rapidly in this 
climate, and in a few years, by additional plantings to meet 
the expected cuttings, the large and constantly-increasing 
trade in Eastern hard lumber would be transferred to our 
own State, and millions of money annually expended abroad 
would be kept at home. The love of gain, which has caused 
the wholesale destruction of the timber, should induce men 
to plant more, even if no other inducement were offered. 
Bemember that the large timber of California sprouts not 
when felled; that a grove once felled has passed away for- 
ever. 

We propose now to consider some of the various produc- 
tions of this county, that are not generally raised elsewhere. 

Peanuts. 

In 1853, Dr. Joshua S. Curtis brought fifty pounds of 
peanuts from New Orleans and planted them in his garden,' 
on the Sacramento River, one and a half miles below Wash- 
ington. This was the first experiment of raising peanuts in 
this State. This effort proving successful, the Doctor fol- 
lowed it up the succeeding year on a more enlarged scale, 
and has continued in the business since. During the first 
few years the experiment proved very remunerative, and 
several others engaged in the enterprise. 

As the product became larger the price decreased, until a 
much smaller margin for profit was left the producer; but 
still the amount planted increases annually. This year there 
are about forty acres planted on the ranches of the Doctor 

# 



YOLO CODNTY. 105 

and Ills son. The first lot shipped to San Francisco brought 
twenty-five cents per pound, at that price yielding an income 
of five hundred dollars per acre. Gradually the price has 
decreased, the lowest point reached being eight cents per 
pound. Last year's crop brought ten cents, though a few 
Chinamen gardeners sold for eight cents. 

The average yield on favorable soil is one ton per acre, 
though the crop sometimes is heavier. . The nuts are planted 
in^hills like potatoes, and cultivated in much the same man- 
ner. The vines are covered twice, leaving but the ends 
above the surface. This causes a new setting of nuts at 
each covering. It is supposed that the crop is sure, as no 
failure has been known where the vinfes were properly cul- 
tivated and planted in congenial soil. 

The soil required for successful cultivation is a loose,- 
sandy loam, such as is suitable for sweet potatoes. When 
planted in this kind of soil and properly attended, the 
result has, so far, been very flattering. 

It is not likely that the demand for this article will induce 
the raising of the nut for export. The home market will 
constitute the demand, and that is in a measure quite lim- 
ited. Owing to the facility with which they are grown 
(one man can take care of from five to seven acres, except 
during harvest), the home market has been already closed 
to importers and fully supplied with the State product. 
There was none imported last year, and probably will not 
be during the present season. The sales in San Francisco 
alone reached over fifty thousand dollars last season, and 
the main part of the nuts thus sold were raised in Yolo 
County. 

From the small beginning of fifty pounds, planted by 
Dr. Curtis in 1853, has sprung up an annual trade of 
about three hundred tons, grown in this county. If it 
were not probable that the market would be easily over- 
crowded, many more acres would be planted annually, 
for there is a deal of land along the river and creeks suit- 
able for this plant. Owing to the price of l^bor, it will 
not be found profitable to grow them for export. 

There is one peculiarity about the peanut culture, noted 



106 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

by tliose wlio liaye followed tlie business for years. It 
does not seem to injure the land, or detract from the natu- 
ral strength of soil in the least, but, on the contrary, seems 
to keep the soil loose and lively, leaving it enhanced in 
value by the thorough cultivation • necessary to eradicate 
the weeds and keep it in a healthy condition. 

Silk Culture. 

From I. N. Hoag we have received a comprehensive ac- 
count of the silk interest of this county. We commend 
it to the careful perusal of our readers, as it embodies 
the experience of one who has been long and earnestly 
engaged in the business, as well as the experience of all 
prominent sericulturists in the county. Coming, as it does, 
from one actively engaged in the business, it possesses a 
value far above the crude opinions or hasty sketches of 
the uninitiated writer on the subject. 

While the feeding of the silk-worm as an experiment, 
and upon a small scale, had been followed by the late Louis 
Prevosti in Santa Clara County, for a number of years 
previous to its introduction into any other county of the 
State, Yolo County has the undoubted honor ^f intro- 
ducing this rich industry as a matter of real, legitimate 
and lucrative business. In 1867, the writer, having be- 
come satisfied of the adaptability of our soil and climate 
to the prosecution of this branch of husbandry, apad desir- 
ing to add one more to the limited list of agricultural 
products of our State, planted ten acres of land, situated 
on the Sacramento Eiver, about two miles above the Town 
of Washington, with mulberry cuttings and seed. The 
cuttings were very successful — but a very small proportion 
of the seed planted grew. However, as a result of the 
enterprise, he produced about half a million of thrifty 
trees. These trees were grown partly for his own use in 
the production of silk, and partly for sale; but as no one 
had yet made a financial success in feeding silk-worms in 
the State, Mr. Hoag found no demand for his trees, as he 
had hoped, during the winter and spring of 1868. During 



II 



YOLO COUNTY. 107 

the spring and summer of that year, however, he fed the 
leaves from the trees produced from his morus midticaulis 
cutting on three and one-half acres of land (the trees then 
being a little more than one year old) to the worms pro- 
duced from about ten ounces of silk-worm eggs; and, as a 
financial result, he made a net j)i'ofit, over and above all 
expenses 'of feeding, of three thousand four hundred and 
forty-eight dollars. The time occupied in feeding the 
worms and preparing the product for sale was only about 
six weeks, commencing on the first of June and ending on 
the twenty-fifth of July. 

It will be seen that the trees from which the leaves were 
picked were only a little over one year old from the first 
cuttings. The success of this first real business operation 
in this industry called the public attention to it more effect- 
ually than would thousands of pages of finely-written argu- 
ments in its favor, and. in 1869 there were many plantations 
of mulberry trees started in almost all portions of the State. 
Among the largest and most important of these is that of 
the California Silk Culture Association, located near Davis- 
ville, in this county. This company is composed mostly 
of San Francisco capitalists, and it was organized through 
the energy^ and enterprise of our indomitable fellow-citizen, 
C. W. Eeecl, who is himself a large owner in the concern. 
The company's mulberry plantations now cover one hun- 
dred acres of land and contain about six hundred thousand 
trees from two to three years old. They have erected two 
large and well-arranged cocooneries ; one in the spring of 
1869, the dimensions of which are thirty by one hundred 
feet square on the ground and two stories high. The other 
was built in 1870 and is much larger and better. Both are 
capable of accommodating the worms from over one hun- 
dred ounces of eggs at the same time. In the sj^ring of 
1869, the same year in which the trees were planted, the 
company made about a million of cocoons, most of which 
they reeled, producing some of the finest raw silk ever 
shown in any country. In the spring of 1870 they made 
over two millions of cocoons, a portion of which were al- 
lowed to hatch and reproduce eggs to the number of some 



108 THE WESTEEN SHORE G.VZETTEER. 

three tliousand ounces. The eggs have nearly all been 
sold at an average of four dollars per ounce, for export to 
Europe. 

Encouraged by their success so far, the company have 
determined to extend their operations, both as to the size 
of their plantations and the number of the cocooneries. 
They will also add buildings and machinery for reeling silk 
on a large scale. 

Mr. Hoag has also extended his plantation, so that the 
ground now occupied by his trees is about fifty acres and 
the trees number about two hundred thousand, between 
three and four years old. He has three cocooneries, one 
fifty feet square, one fifty by sixty and the other thirty-six 
by forty, capable of feeding the worms from eighty to one 
hundred ounces of eggs. His trees are about half multi- 
caulis and half moretti or alba. 

Besides the above, there are within the county other 
establishments for the cultivation of silk, qn a less formi- 
dable scale, among which may be mentioned that of H. G. 
Ballon, on the Sacramento Eiver, four miles above Wash- 
ington. Mr. Ballou commenced in the spring of 1869. 
He has about twenty thousand trees, covering some ten 
acres of land. The success of Mr. Ballou has also been 
very gratifying. He gives as the result of his first year's 
feeding, from a limited number of trees, a net profit at th 
rate of seven hundred and sixty dollars per acre. 

James Haworth, some two miles below Washington, 
has a plantation of about ten thousand trees, and has been 
engaged in feeding worms for the past three years with 
uniform success. Dr. C. Euddock, of Willow Slough, and 
James Edgar, of Cottonwood, and a number of others in 
the count}^ have a limited number of trees, and we are in- 
formed that many others will engage in the business the 
coming year. 

While Sacramento, Santa Clara, Santa Barbara, Los 
Angeles and other counties have been wide awake in the 
introduction of this valuable industry, we believe Yolo is 
still justly entitled to be set down as the banner county of 
the State in silk culture. 



YOLO COUNTY. 109 

It has been sliown by the exj)eriments and operations 
above cited that silk culture can be very profitably entered 
upon as an exclusive business, yet we believe it would be 
found one of the most valuable and remunerative products 
of every farm carried on in connection with other indus- 
tries. Its active operations cover but a very small portion 
of time in each year, and that time is in the spring, when 
other farming occupations in this State require but little 
attention. The expense of making a beginning is but a 
mere trifle for trees, and every farmer can so manage as to 
use some portion of his dwelling or some of his out-build- 
ings for the short time required each year. The work of 
feeding the worms being light and mostly in-doors, can be 
done by the women and children of the family, and thus, 
with almost no increase of capital and with no additional 
expense for labor, every farmer in the county might, by 
engaging in the culture of silk, adfl materially to his an- 
nual income and increase the comforts of his household. 

As Yolo County has been the first to successfully intro- 
duce the business and render it remunerative, we hope she 
may be the first to render that business general among her 
agriculturists. We are assured that our grain-growing 
districts are well adapted to the successful growth of the 
trees, they being of a hardy nature, like cottonwood, and 
that the leaves grown on trees in a hard, dry soil will pro- 
duce the best quality of silk. <• 

Another source of wealth which furnishes employment to 
several of our citizens is but little understood. From the 
meager data before us we give the following very imperfect 
sketch of the 

Fisheries of Yolo. 

The principal fishery on the Sacramento is at the mouth 
of Sycamore Slough, near Knight's Landing. It employs 
several men, the average catch during the summer and fall 
being from one to two tons of fish per day. One small 
steamer is employed in transporting the catch to the mar- 
kets — Sacramento and San Francisco. The principal fish 



110 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

taken here in tlie summer is tlie perch, along with other 
varieties of smaller fish. 

Aside from this fishery, we have returns from thirty-two 
gill-nets, two men to the boat; average catch of the season, 
twelve hundred dollars to the net; also four pike fishermen, 
with twenty nets. The largest pike net on the river is at 
the Knight's Landing Fishery, of which we have spoken. 
During the salmon fishing, the fishermen take large quanti- 
ties of this fine fish, along with sturgeon and other varieties 
not so valuable. By the twenty-fifth of June the spring 
run of salmon up the river is generally ended, when the 
perch and other small fish take their place in the market. 
The fall run begins in August and lasts until November, 
and sometimes as late as December. The spring run is the 
best — the fish being short, fat and of a bright color. On 
'returning from the sj^ring run they frequently mix with 
the fall run, when they are poor and of a very rusty color. 
The average weight of the spring fish is about fifteen 
pounds, though they have been caught weighing forty 
pounds. Sturgeon have been taken in these fisheries, 
weighing more — one being recorded of four hundred and 
ninety-five pounds weight. During the spring run, it 
sometimes happens that a sudden rise occurs in the river, 
when the fish fall back for a few days until the floods sub- 
side, when the run is renewed. 

This ^ason the first sliii^ment of salmon overland to the 
East was attempted. There is no doubt but that a large 
and profitable trade will grow out of this experiment. The 
salmon of the Pacific coast far surpass those of the Eastern 
fisheries, both in size and quality. Should the market be 
assured in that quarter, we may look for a large increase of 
boats and men on the river. Old fishermen tell us that the 
stock has increased in the inland waters very materially 
during the past few years. They attribute this to the de- 
crease of mining, and the consequent increased purity of 
the waters. 

About one hundred and fifty men are engaged in fishing 
and hunting, who are residents of this county. The annual 
value of the trade is estimated at eighty to one hundred 



'4 



"yolo county. Ill 

thousand dollars. The value of boats, nets and other 
property necessary to conduct the business is estimated at 
forty -five thousand dollars. 



Mines and Minerals, 

The mining interest is but lightly represented in this 
county, with one exception. But little prospecting for the 
precious metals has been attempted, though "indications " 
of the existence of various kinds of mineral are not want- 
ing in the foothills and mountain ranges that form the 
western boundary of the county. Gold, copper, sulphur, 
lead and cinnabar indications are frequently found, such 
as would justify extended prospecting in a country Mdiere 
the attention of the inhabitants was directed to mining 
instead of agriculture. 

G-old Mining 

Has been carried on, to some extent, on Putah Creek and 
in some gulches and ravines in the foothills near Cache 
Creek Canon. Absence of water, inexperience of mining 
matters, and the all-absorbing interests of agriculture, 
may be given as sufficient reasons why this branch of 
industry has received no more attention. That gold exists 
in the first range of hills is a fact; but whether in quanti- 
ties sufficient to justify any great outlay of capital in the 
prospecting or working of the ground, remains to be 
decided. Copper "signs" are plenty in the hills, and 
occasionally one meets with indications of coal and iron. 
The formation of the ranges, their volcanic origin, and the 
undisputed fact of the existence of gold and cinnabar, 
would warrant a more extended and thorough examination 
of the county than has ever been given to it. 



Cinnabar. 

In the extreme northwestern portion of the county is 
located the cinnabar or quicksilver mines of Charles F. 



112 THE WESTEEN SHOKE GAZETTEER. 

Eeed & Co., known as the California Mines. This com- 
pany are pushing the work on their mine, wdth every assur- 
ance of success. The mine lies but a few (six) miles from 
the celebrated Knoxville and Manhattan cinnabar mines, 
and is evidently a continuation of the belt which traverses 
a section of Lake and Yolo counties. This cinnabar- 
bearing belt extends from Oregon southward through the 
Coast Kange; how far is not definitely ascertained, but 
either the mineral or indications have been discovered at 
intervals through the whole extent of the Coast Range from 
Oregon to Mexico. 

In the district where Eeed's mine is located, very rich 
deposits of cinnabar have been found and two large mines, 
with furnaces atnd machinery attached, employing about 
three hundred men and turning out from four hu.ndred to 
one thousand flasks of quicksilver per week when the fur- 
naces are in operation. These mines are located in Lake 
County, the dividing line between Lake and Yolo passing 
between these mines and that owned by Eeed & Co. The 
surrounding hills are thickly studded with ' ' indications " 
and "cropx3ings" which reveal the existence of cinnabar- 
bearing lodes. 

The California Mine. 

• By an Act of the Legislature of 1864-5 the boundaries 
of Yolo County were definitely determined. This location 
included the California and Occidental mines within the 
limits of Yolo County. In 1856 these mines were consoli- 
dated under the name of the '' California Mine," and duly 
incorporated, with Charles F. Eeed, of Yolo County, as 
President, and Henry F. Williams, of San Francisco, as 
Secretary. In 1867 the mine was sold to a company of 
English capitalists for five hundred thousand dollars, but, 
through some mismanagement of the company's agents sent 
to Europe, the sale was broken. The company then deter- 
mined to prosecute the work on their own account, and : 
have been steadily engaged in opening and developing i 
their mine since. They own six hundred and forty acres 
of rich agricultural land in Davis Valley, well improved, 



YOLO COUNTY. 113 

with good farm houses, barns, etc. At present they are 
working fifteen men, under the superintendence of John E. 
Kegal, an experienced miner. They have out and ready 
for smelting about five hundred tons of fine ore, estimated 
to yiekl thirty per cent, of quicksilver. They have good 
boarding-houses, blacksmith-shops and other buildings 
necessary to the successful prosecution of the work. A 
contract has been made with Messrs. Roach & Form, of 
San Francisco, who are to erect a large smelting furnace, 
to be completed by the first of October. It is confidently 
expected that the mine will be turning out large quantities 
of quicksilver by that time or immediately thereafter. 
Several tunnels have been driven by the company, in all of 
which the prospects are encouraging. One of these tun- 
nels has been driven, through solid rock, six hundred and 
fifty feet, one over four hundred feet, and still another two 
hundred and fifty feet. At the time of writing the superin- 
tendent informed us that he had found large quantities of 
paying rock or ore in the new cut, one hundred feet be- 
neath the surface. Success in this quarter will induce 
capitalists to turn their attention to investments in that 
direction, and will have the effect of introducing a class of 
laborers in those hills who will add wealth and prosperity 
to a portion of the country now comparatively non-produc- 
tive and consequently valueless. Such an event would 
work a vast change in that section, and materially enhance 
the value of the foot-hill lands, especially those that are 
well timbered. It would open up a new market for pro- 
duce and hasten the construction of a railroad through that 
section, and in many other ways prove of great benefit to 
the county. 

We now leave our general description of the county, for 
the purpose of giving brief sketches of the principal towns 
of Yolo. 

Woodland, 

The county seat, is situated in Cache Creek Township, 
fifteen miles west and six and one-half miles north of 
Sacramento. By the road, as now laid out, the distance is 
8 



114 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

rated at eigliteen miles to Wasliington. Tlie town lies 
tliree miles soutli of Caclie Creek, tlie nearest point being 
at Nelson's bridge. Where the town now stands, and im- 
mediately surrounding it, was once a beautiful grove of 
oaks, from which the town derives its name. A few of the 
trees are still standing, but by far the larger portion have 
fallen before the army of occupation, the advance guard of 
which seems to be wood-choppers. This grove, which was 
the most prominent feature of the place and its chief beauty 
in its younger days, has given place to dwellings, stores 
and other belongings of a thriving town; yet enough re- 
mains to enable the town to hold her name rightfully, with- 
out subjecting herself to the charge of having appropriated 
a name that did not correspond with the surroundings. 
The ground on which the town is located is slightly ele- 
vated above the surrounding plains, it being the end of a 
gravelly ridge, or rather elevation, traceable for several 
miles. The belt of timber in which the town was estab- 
lished extends northward and westward to Cache Creek, 
and eastward and southeastward for some distance beyond 
the town. 

In 1855 Henry "Wyckoff established a store, the place 
being then known as "Yolo City." This store was j)ur- 
chased in 1857 by F. S. Freeman. Hyman & Brothers 
established the next store, building what is now known as 
the Woodland House. In 1861 F. S. Freeman built the 
first brick building. The land on which the north part of 
the town stands was patented by F. S. Freeman in 1862. 
The southern portion of the town stands on land patented 
by T. M. Harris, in June, 1863. Such is a brief outline 
of the early history of the town, given to illustrate the 
rapid growth and improvement of the place. 

A short time since, an effort was made to incorporate the 
town, giving it a boundary one mile square. From causes 
unnecessary to mention, the scheme failed, and Woodland 
remains unx^rotected by city laws, unburthened by city 
taxes. We do not propose to question the wisdom of the 
attempt at incorporation, or the more successful effort 
which resulted in the defeat of the measure ; but we may 



YOLO COUNTY. 115 

be permitted to express the opinion that but a few addi- 
tional years of prosperity will elapse before Woodland will 
be found among the list of incorporated towns- 
Public Buildings. 

The county buildings— Court-house and jail combined — 
are situated in the north portion of the town. The structure 
is of brick, two stories high — 76x60 feet. The jail contains 
eight cells, constructed of wood and lined with sheet-iron. 
The building is now undergoing repairs, a contract having 
been entered into between the Board of Supervisors and 
Turton & Knox, of Sacramento City, the latter undertaking 
to raise the building eight and one-half feet and put under 
it a new foundation, the present one proving inadequate 
for the purpose designed. Since the above was written 
the work has been successfully completed. The building 
is commodious, provided with fire-proof vaults and safes for 
the various oifices. The offices of the Treasurer, District 
Attorney, Sheriff and the jail are on the first floor. On the 
second floor is the Court room, Supervisors' room, Grand 
Jury room, County Clerk's room and office. The yard or 
square on which the building is situated, is tastefully laid 
out with walks and planted with shrubbery, or rather a por- 
tion of it, and the whole has been sown in alfalfa, which 
thrives well, and adds much to the beauty of the place. A 
well one hundred and thirty feet deep furnishes a plentiful 
supply of good water, supposed to be the best in the town. 

Hesperian College. 

This institution, located at Woodland, was erected in the 
fall of 1860 and the winter of 1861. 

The school was opened March 4th, 1861 — the day of Presi- 
dent Lincoln's first inauguration. O. L. Mathews, a gradu- 
ate of Bethany College, Virginia, presided over the young 
institution until December, 1861 ; Henry Atkinson, a gradu- 
ate of Howard University, assuming control of the school 
the following term, January, 1862. 



116 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

In August following, J. W. Anderson, of Washington 
College, Pennsylvania, was elected to watch over the rising 
fortunes of a school that bid fair to attain to eminence among 
the schools and colleges of California. 

In September, 1863, J. M. Martin, a graduate of Abing- 
don College, Illinois, was called to take charge of the in- 
stitution. From that time till the present he has presided 
over its destinies. 

Though laboring under many difficulties and embarrass- 
ments, it gradually increased in members, influence and 
popularity, until the opening of the session, August, 1867, 
when with almost unprecedented rapidity it rose to the first 
rank among the schools of the Pacific Slope. The cata- 
logues of the institution for 1867-8-9 show an average at- 
tendance of more than two hundred students per annum. 

On the fifth day of May, 1869, the institution was duly 
incorporated in accordance with the statutes of California 
in such case made and provided. 

On the twenty-third of August, 1869, the Board of Trus- 
tees named in the certificate of incorporation met, organi- 
zed and proceeded to elect a Faculty, and to establish rules 
and regulations for the good government of the school. 

The present Faculty is as follows : J. M. Martin, Presi- 
dent and Professor of Ancient Languages and Elocution ; J. 
L. Simpson, Professor of Mathematics; G. N. Freman, Prin- 
cipal of Preparatory Department; Mrs. C. L. Cross, Prin- 
cipal of Primary Department; Miss Florence G. Johnston, 
Teacher of Vocal and Instrumental Music; Mrs. J. E. Dick- 
son, Teacher of Painting, Drawing, etc.; P. A. Espina, 
Teacher of Spencerian Penmanship; G. N. Freman, Secre- 
tary of the Faculty. Hesj5erian College admits both sexes, 
and stands a striking example of the superiority of such 
schools when conducted upon a rational basis. ' ' A thorough, 
'practical education— physical, intellectual and, moral,'''' is the 
motto of the Institution. 



Public School-house. 
This is a two-story frame building, situated in the extreme 



YOLO COUNTY. 117 

eastern part of town, in the midst of a beautiful grove of 
oaks. It is not worthy, as a public building, of any extend- 
ed notice. 

Churches. 

There are three brick churches in the town — the Christian 
or Campbellite, the M. E. Church and the Catholic. They 
are each good, substantial brick buildings, the Catholic 
Church being by far superior to the others in architectural 
beauty and design. 

Theater. 

Washington Hall, on Main Street, two stories hrgh and 
one hundred feet long by sixty feet wide, was erected for 
j3Tiblic purposes by Adam Gerlach, at an expense of fifteen 
thousand dollars. The upper story is in one room, and fit- 
ted with a stage and stage scenery complete. It was opened 
by L. F. Beatty, with a theatrical troupe, who leased it for 
a season. His term having expired, Mr. Gerlach resumed 
the control of the hall, which is now at the service of the 
public. 

Hotels. 

The hotels in Woodland, two in number, are fine brick 
buildings, two and three stories high respectively. Among 
the 

Other Buildings 

Worthy of note are the bank building, the fine brick — 
three stories high — adjoining the bank, built by Messrs. 
Brown, Sill & Craft, and Elliott's carriage-shop, a fine two- 
story brick. Among the private residences that of F. S. 
Freeman takes the first place. The contract price for this 
building was sixteen thousand dollars. There are many 
tasty dwelling-houses in Woodland, of both brick and 
wood, but the predominating material used in construc- 
tion is brick, both in stores and dwellings. 

G-eneral Description. 
The town contains twenty stores, classed as follows : 



118 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

One hardware, one millinery store ; dry goods, tliree ; dry 
goods and groceries, two ; groceries, tliree ; produce and 
groceries, two ; produce and fruit, one ; jewelry and drugs 
and stationery combined, one ; jewelry, one ; clothing and 
drugs, one ; tinware and stoves, two ; variety stores, two. 
There are four barber's shops, one bath-house, two saddle 
and harness shops, three shoemaker's shops, one dress- 
making establishment, three restaurants, one flour-mill, two 
large carpenter's shops, one large carriage manufactory, 
seven blacksmith's shops, one sash and door manufactory, 
one ice cream saloon, three livery stables, and eighteen 
saloons, and • places where liquors are sold by the drink. 
This list comprises the most of the business of the town. 
The trade, value of exports and imports are included in the 
county returns. 

The .population of the town proper, or village, is sixteen 
hundred. Including the suburbs, or voting precinct, it is 
about twenty-two hundred. 

Meat Markets. 

The value of the animals slaughtered for home consump- 
tion in Yolo can hardly be accurately determined. We 
take the following statistics from the books of James Ash- 
bury, the leading butcher of the county. At his two 
markets, in Woodland, the sales foot up as follows, for the 
year ending September first : Number of pounds of veal 
slaughtered, nine thousand six hundred ; pork, twenty- 
three thousand ; mutton, sixty-six thousand ; beef, five 
hundred thousand nine hundred. Total pounds of meat, 
five hundred and ninety-nine thousand five hundred pounds, 
worth at an average thirteen cents per pound, or seventy- 
seven thousand nine hundred and ninety-five dollars. Sup- 
posing the remaining shops in the county do a business ex- 
ceeding this by one-half, which is a fair estimate, we then 
have one million four hundred and ninety-eight thousand 
seven hundred and fifty pounds of meat annually sold from 
the markets, valued at one hundred and ninety-four thou- 
sand eight hundred and thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents. 



YOLO COUNTY. 119 

Tlie other markets of note are Korn's, at Woodland ; 
Gwinn's, at Knight's Landing; Marden's, at Davisville; 
Hines', at Cacheville, and one at Buckley's. At Ashbury's 
five men are employed, averaging a pay-roll of seven thou- 
sand five hundred dollars. By the same average we have 
twelve men with a pay-roll of eleven thousand two hundred 
and fifty dollars. 

Bank of "Woodland. 

This institution was organized in 1868 and incorporated 
on the twenty-first of November of that year, with a paid 
up capital stock of two hundred thousand dollars, to be 
increased to five hundred thousand dollars at the option 
of the incorporators. The ofiicers at present are the 
same as at its organization, and are as follows : Presi- 
dent, J. D. Stephens; Cashier, C. W. Bush; Vice- 
President, F. S. Freeman. The Directors are J. D. 
Stephens, F. S. Freeman, C. Nelson, J. Hollingsworth, 
L. D. Stephens, J. Wilcoxon, N. Hastings, F. Miller and 
C. W. Bonynger. Since its organization three dividends 
have been declared, averaging each one per cent, on the 
paid up capital. With the organization of this institution 
new facilities were afibrded business men, and a corre- 
sponding improvement in financial matters was the result. 

Knight's Landing. 

This town is situated on the Sacramento Biver, eight and 
one-half miles north and three and one-half miles east of 
Woodland. By the railroad the distance is eight miles; 
by the public roads, as generally traveled, about twelve. 
It is on the line of the California Pacific Eailroad, thereby 
connected with Marysville, Woodland and the seaboard. 
It has a large trade, via the Sacramento River, with Sacra- 
mento and San Francisco. It contains ,one church, a 
school-house, one hotel, one lodging-house, one flour-mill, 
one very large wagon- and blacksmith-shop, besides some 
of lesser note; three large warehouses, one large carpenter- 
shop, two bakeries, six saloons, one very large dry-goods 



120 THE WESTEEN SHORE GAZETTEEE. 

store, several grocery-stores, and several otlier places of 
trade, too numerous to mention. 

The principal portion of the town lies on Front Street, 
fronting the river. The buildings are principally of wood, 
of one story, or cottage houses. The population is about 
one thousand. In 1850 "Billy" McDaniel first laid out 
the Town of Knight's Landing; but nothing seems to have 
been done toward building the town until 1853, when 
Charles F. Keed re-surveyed it and laid out the streets as 
they are now located. There are many old settlers in that 
community who recollect when Knight's Landing was bar- 
ren of aught but brush and undergrowth. 

When J. W. Snowball arrived he found one log house on 
the mound. He erected the first store at that place. The 
name of "Knight's Landing" was given by the settlers in 
honor of the owner of the grant located there — a name it 
has since retained. 

It seems a little strange — hard to recognize as facts — that 
the pleasant town of Knight's Landing, with its bustling 
activity, as well as the surrounding country, was an unset- 
tled wilderness but twenty years ago. Yet such is the case, 
and that wilderness was rather thickly inhabited by wild 
and savage beasts, according to the reports of the early 
settlers. Mr. A. W. Morriss, who settled at Knight's Land- 
ing in 1852, relates that the place was then entirely unim- 
proved, and wild animals were plenty. A few cloth tents 
were the only dwellings, except the log house on the 
mound. The only inclosnre for stock was a corral. Hear- 
ing a disturbance in the corral one night, he went out to 
discover the cause, and found a grizzly making himself 
familiar with the animals inclosed. In 1853 two grizzlies 
made a reconnoisance on the forces of J. J. Cook, who 
was engaged in ditch-digging near the site of the present 
town. They walked out from an adjoining thicket, making 
directly for Mr. Cook, who, knowing it was useless to run, 
stood his ground bravely, and with uplifted shovel awaited 
the assault. Fortune generally favors the brave, and in 
this case she adhered to the rule; for, after a short ob- 
servation of Mr. Cook and his defenses, the bears retired 



YOLO COUNTY. 121 

in good order, leaving him master of the situation. For 
several years, bear, elk, deer and antelope were abundant. 
The log house on the mound — the old landmark, the first 
dwelling in that part of the county— was burned in 1853. 
We believe it was built in 1849. Pity it had not been 
spared, for but few of the old landmarks and records of 
'49 are left. 

Building in those days was rather expensive, judging by 
some old bills and records. Mr. J. Friel, who, by the way, 
says there were not three women within a square of ten 
miles when he settled near Knight's Landing (1853), built 
his first house of " shakes " split from the surrounding 
oaks. The nails for this building cost thirty cents per 
pound, the flooring boards one hundred and twenty-five 
dollars per thousand feet. Flour was fift}^ dollars per bar- 
rel, and other things in proportion. We might multiply 
incidents of like nature, but they are familiar to all old 
Californians. Among the early settlers of Knight's Land- 
ing and vicinity was Mr. Harrison Gwinn, afterwards 
County Judge of Yolo and member of the Legislature. 
He settled on the farm he now occupies in 1850, and has 
remained there since. To Mrs. Gwinn belongs the honor 
of being the first American lady who settled in that vicin- 
ity. Thomas Coleman, who landed at Fremont in 1849; 
came to Knight's Landing in 1850, when Mrs. William 
Knight occupied the " log house on the mound." In 1851 
Mr. Coleman was attacked by a grizzly, and was obliged to 
seek safety by climbing a tree. D. W. Edson settled at 
the Landing in 1850; J. Dinwiddle the same year ; C. O. 
Copp in 1852. John Burns and several others, who are 
still living in the county, settled there in 1853. About this 
period the scattering farmers began to haul their produce 
to this place for transportation, and the name of ' ' Knight's 
Landing" became permanently established and was the 
only name by which the place was known. There have 
been some attempts to call the town after the name of its 
post-office, Grafton, but there is little probability of the 
old name ever being superseded.

towu present a lively appearance. Long lines of freight 
wagons, loaded with grain, impart a business appearance 
that gives ample evidence of the wealth of the country 
adjoining. The flour and grain trade via the river is exten- 
sive, communication with the seaports being cheap and 
reliable at all seasons of the year. 

The town possesses an excellent landing and extensive 
wharves, the only ones in the county. Charles F. Reed 
and Laugenour & Brownell have each extensive wharves 
and fine warehouses, capable of storing an immense quan- 
tity of grain. They are heavy grain purchasers for the 
San Francisco market, and their wharves receive the bulk 
of the grain raised in that section. 

In point of trade. Knight's Landing is the third town in 
the county, as well as in population. It is a permanent, 
steadily-growing place, and bids far to become an impor- 
tant river town. Connected as it is with the interior by 
rail, the seaboard by rail- and water-carriage, it possesses 
advantages of commerce superior to those of any other 
town in the county. With the well-known energy of its 
citizens directed in the proper channels, and supported by 
an extensive grain-growing district, the to-wm must rapidly 
assume its true position and become a leading commercial 
place. 

Washington. 

Washington is situated on the Sacramento River, imme- 
diately opposite Sacramento City, and connected therewith 
by the railroad bridge. 

The town contains about five hundred inhabitants; is reg- 
ularly laid out, and contains two hotels, four saloons, two 
stores, one feed-stable and blacksmith-shop, one laundry, 
one saw-mill, one rectifying apparatus and public water- 
works. 

The proximity of the town to Sacramento, which should 
prove of great advantage to it, seems to produce an oppo- 
site effect, but little improvement being visible. Owing to 
a short-sighted policy, the trafiic between the tM^o places is 
seriously impeded by the toll-bridge, whicli levies a tax on 



YOLO COUNTY. 123 

every foot passenger that crosses. OAving to this, many who 
are doing business in Sacramento City are deterred from 
residing in Yv^ashington, where lands and rents are much 
cheaper. 

Were this restriction removed, or a free bridge con- 
structed, Washington would improve rapidly, property 
would be enhanced in value, while Sacramento would reap 
a corresponding benefit in the increase of travel and trade 
from this county, which now seeks other parts, accessible 
only by rail, Vhere such restrictions are removed. 

Washington, by situation and by virtue of the advantages 
named, should become the place of residence of many busi- 
ness men whose business lies in Sacramento City. It should 
become to Sacramento what Oakland is to San Francisco, 
Brooklyn to New York, and, with liberal provision made 
for transit between the two places, the desired result would 
be soon secured. 

The orchards in Washington are among the finest in the 
county, and add a peculiar beauty to the place. It is in 
reality the garden of the county, and susceptible of being- 
rendered one of the richest portions of the State. 

The Steam Navigation Company have extensive works 
located on the river front, near the bridge, consisting of 
carpenter-shops and blacksmith-shops, located convenient 
to the ways whereon their vessels are repaired. The spare 
steamers belonging to the Company are moored in front of 
the town and assessed in Yolo County. Many mechanics 
are constantly employed by this Company, who make the 
town their residence, adding materially to its prosperity. 

The growth and improvements of Washington have not 
been in a corresponding ratio with some other towns in the 
county, and though one of the oldest, it falls far behind its 
sister towns of younger growth. The railroad, instead of 
being an advantage to the town and a cause of prosperity, 
has proved the reverse, as the business formerly transacted 
there in the way of freight and travel is now mostly trans- 
ferred to Sacramento.

Cache ville. 

The Town of Cacheville is situated on Cache Creek, four 
miles north by one mile west from Woodland. It contains 
three stores, one hotel, one saddle- and harness-shop, two 
blacksmith- and wagon-shops, one school-house, one church, 
one flour-mill, one tin-shop and two saloons, with a popula- 
tion of about five hundred. 

It is surrounded by a rich agricultural country and pos- 
sesses a large mercantile trade. 

There has not been much activity manifested in building, 
there being no leading cause to stimulate a rapid growth. 
The closely-settled surrounding country, with the many 
wealthy farmers residing near by, gives a permanency to the 
place which will insure a steady growth, though not rapid. 

Having neither rail nor water connection with the other 
towns, the grain market is confined to the milling trade, 
which of necessity transfers a heavy trade to'Woodland and 
Knight's Landing which would be retained under more favor- 
able circumstances. The proposed railroad from "Woodland 
to Colusa, if completed, would afford those facilities to 
Cacheville, as then the town would become the center of 
one of the finest grain-growing districts in the county — the 
shipping and receiving point — thus securing the trade which 
now passes through or by the town for other places, where 
the facilities of transportation are greater. This would in- 
sure a rapid growth, and the town would assume the position 
which naturally belongs to it. The Post-ofiice at Cacheville 
is Yolo. 

Fremont. 

This town was, but is not. A glance at the history will 
enable the reader to learn of its past — a glance at the one 
house comprising the town will tell of its present. Its site 
is located on the Sacramento River, about nine miles north- 
east from Woodland, opposite to where the Feather Kiver 
unites with the Sacramento. The country immediately sur- 
rounding Fremont partakes of the general character of the 
river lands — a narrow belt of grain or garden land fronting

on the river, and slojiing to the tule swamps in the rear. 
We would there was more to say of Fremont, but unless we 
write a homily on the changes presented, or a regret for the 
good old times, we must close this paragraph. The Post- 
office at Fremont is Charleston. 



Langville 

Is situated at the mouth of Capay Valley, twenty miles 
northwest from Woodland, on the road leading to Clear 
Lake. The town consists of Lang's Hotel, one saloon, one 
saddler's shop and one blacksmith's shop. Population, 
various. 

Capay City 

Is situated in Capay Valley, four miles from Langville and 
twenty-four miles northwest from Woodland. It contains 
one store, one hotel, one blacksmith's shop and one saloon. 
It is surrounded by a fine grain country. Capay Post- 
office is located at this place. 

Cottonwood. 

This town is located in the midst of a fine grain-growing 
locality, twelve miles west from Woodland. It contains 
two stores, one blacksmith's shop, one w^agon-maker's shop, 
one harness and saddler's shop, one hotel, one shoe shop, 
one saloon and one church. Lately the town has shown 
signs of increasing vitality by the erection of some new and 
substantial dwellings. The Post-office for Cottonwood is 
Cache Creek. 

Buckeye 

Is situated fifteen miles southwest from Woodland, in the 
center of a fine grain-growing locality. It contains two 
stores, one hotel, one saloon, one blacksmith's shop, one 
shoemaker's shop, one boarding-house and a Masonic Hall. 
One of the finest dwelling-houses in the county — that of 
Mr. B. Ely — is situated in the town. With this exception 



126 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

tliere are no buildings of note, unless we mention tlie dwell- 
ing of Mr. R. C. Biggs, whose farm adjoins that belonging 
to Mr. Ely. The Post-office has the same name as the 
town. 

Davisville 
Is located "on the north side of Putali Creek, ten miles 
south and one mile east of Woodland. By the wagon-road 
generally traveled the distance from Woodland to Davis- 
ville has usually been called twelve miles, the latter figure 
having been used by us in locating farms lying between 
Davisville and Woodland. The town is located on the old 
Jerome Davis farm, where the Sacramento branch of the 
California Pacific Railroad diverges from the main track. 
It is thirteen miles west and three and one-half miles south 
of Sacramento. The town is regularly laid out and contains 
about five hundred inhabitants. Olive street, the main 
street of the city, is very closely built, the buildings being 
of wood, mostly of one story. The town contains two large 
lumber-yards, two wagon and blacksmith's shops, several 
stores and saloons, three hotels, one restaurant, one livery 
stable, two saddle and harness shops and several minor 
places of trade. A frame church is in course of construc- 
tion^and will be completed this season. 

Owing to its central location, Davisville possesses a large 
trade, especially in grain, from twenty to thirty thousand 
tons being annually shipped by rail from this point. The 
railroad buildings at Davisville are superior to any belong- 
ing to the Company in the county, and these are no larger 
than is necessary for the trade of the place. The town has 
improved during the last year, and will doubtless continue 
to advance in prosperity. It is surrounded by an excellent 
country, thickly settled with wealthy farmers. It possesses 
the trade of a large section lying in this and Solano County, 
and in this lies the elements of its future growth. As the 
country adjoining becomes more improved and more thickly 
settled, the town will feel the influence and meet with a 
corresponding enlargement. The celebrated cocoonery and 
mulberry orchard is located on the banks of Putah Creek, 
immediately adjoining the town.

Orders. 



The Masons, Odd Fellows, Druids and Good Templars are 
represented by one or more Lodges in the county, each of 
which is said to be in a flourishing condition. Our 
information regarding these Orders was furnished by the 
officers of the various organizations, and may be considered 
correct. 

We are indebted to W. W. Stone for the following re- 
garding the 

U. A. O. D. 

On the thirtieth of July, 1870, Dodoma Grove, No. 18, 
United Ancient Order of Druids, was instituted in Wood- 
land. Some two weeks previous to the organization, W. W. 
Stone (Principal ot the Woodland School) received the 
necessary instructions and encouragement, and by his en- 
ergy succeeded in inducing thirty-four others to Join in as 
charter members, who were duly initiated in the secret 
service of the Order on the date aforesaid. Since the in- 
stallation a number of our most prominent citizens have 
joined the Order, which now numbers fifty-eight, and a 
further large increase of our best citizens may be confi- 
dently expected. There is a fair prospect of the Grove 
numbering one hundred members before it shall have been 
two months in operation. 

The principles of the Order are said to be synonymous 
with those of the Odd Fellows and Free Masons, with an 
equal if not greater disposition to cause the influence of a 
society of public -spirited men to be felt beneficially in the 
moral and intellectual status of the community in which 
they reside. 

The erection or purchase of a building suitable for a hall 
is now under consideration by the Grove, which meets 
temporarily in the College building. The creation of a 
library and reading-room for the benefit of the members 
and the public generally is also under consideration, and 
will doubtless soon be an accomplished fact. The present 
officers of the Grove are as follows: W. W. Stone, Noble

Arcli; W. A. Henry, Yice-Arcli ; H. J. Plomteaux, Eecord- 
ing Secretary; Abram Moger, Financial Secretary; A. C. 
Kean, Treasurer; G. Hafky, Inside Guard. Time of hold- 
ing meetings, Monday evenings. 

We are indebted to T. C. Pockman for the following 
regarding the Order of 

Free and Accepted Masons. 

The first Masonic Lodge in this county was established 
at Cacheville, June, 1854, by W. M., Parson Gray. The 
charter members were: C. Traver, N. Wycoff, J. D. Ste- 
phens, G. L. Brown and J. T. Boon. 

The number of Lodges in the county is four, located at 
Cacheville, Woodland, Knight's Landing and Buckeye. 
Names of the Lodges and the nights of holding meetings 
are as follows : 

Yolo Lodge, No. 81, Cacheville, A. Griffiths, Master, 
meets Saturday on or before the full moon. This Lodge 
has about fifty members. 

Grafton Lodge, No. 141, Knight's Landing, E. L. Parre- 
more, Master, meets on Saturday on or after the full moon. 
This Lodge has a membership of about forty. 

Woodland Lodge, No. 156, T. C. Pockman, Master, meets 
on Friday on or before the full moon. This Lodge has a 
membership of sixty-two. 

Buckeye Lodge, No. 198, M. E. York, Master, meets on 
Saturday on or before the full moon. This Lodge has 
about thirty members. 

In Woodland the Order have a fine brick hall in the 
Mason's Block, on Main Street. The Order is in a very 
flourishing condition; but not being informed, we can give 
no further details regarding it. 

t 

I. O. O. F. 

We are indebted to H. C. Grover, Recording Secretary 
of Woodland Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, 
for the following record of the Order in this county : 



YOLO COUNTY. 129 

Woodland Lodge, No. Ill, was organized on the seven- 
teentli day of January, 1863, by R. W. Grand Warden 
David Kendall, assisted by John B. Harmon and other 
brothers of the Order from Sacramento City. The charter 
members were : Elias Peterson, G. J. Overshiner, Manville 
Barber, J. Wiley and A. Armstrong, who constituted the 
officers for the first term — E. Peterson, N. G. ; G. J. Over- 
shiner, Y. G. ; Manville Barber, E. S.; A. Armstrong, T. 
Six persons joined as Ancient Odd Fellows, making, in all, 
eleven members. For some time the young Lodge held its 
meetings in an old school-house in the eastern j^art of 
town, from which they removed to the College building, 
where the Lodge now holds its meetings. For two years 
the Lodge struggled on, meeting but little encouragement 
in the way of adding to the membership, besides being 
heavily burthened with debt. About the first of April, 
1865, one of their most prominent members met with an 
accident which left him a cripple for life. This deplorable 
accident enabled the members of the Lodge to display the 
workings of their Order, and to illustrate, in the fullest 
sense, the principles which govern them, by practically 
demonstrating the grand and noble objects which have ren- 
dered the Order so deservedly popular. That which, in 
the weak and crippled condition of the Lodge, might have 
been considered as a heavy blow, was really a blessing to 
the Order, as through the suiferings of a member the 
Lodge was enabled to practice the great principles of 
charity and brotherly love which underlie the Order, in 
fact constitute its foundation and its defenses. With this 
incident began the prosperity of the Lodge. Its list of 
members increased steadily until it now (August 1st, 1870) 
numbers sixty-seven faithful and zealous members. A fine 
new hall is being erected for Lodge purposes, at a cost of 
four thousand two hundred dollars. It is expected that it 
will be ready for occupancy by November 1st of the pres- 
ent year. 

The estimated assets of the Order (exclusive of the new 
hall) are one thousand dollars. The Lodge has lost but one 
member by death since its organization. Amount paid

for funeral expenses, ninetj-eight dollars and fifty cents. 
Amount expended for relief of brothers, over four thou- 
sand five hundred dollars. Total amount expended for 
relief, four thousand six hundred dollars. Officers of pres-

Martin Meyers, Y. G.; H. C. Graves, E. S.; E. H. New- 
ton, F. S.; Henry Furry, T. Night of meeting, Saturday. 

Yolo Lodge, 169, J. Horning N. G., was established in 
Davisville, April 12th, 1870. Its officers are : J. Horning, 
N. G.: F. Moultnor, V. G.; E. C. Hartman, E. S.; Wil- 
liam "Weinberger, T. Night of meeting, Saturday. 

Davisville and Woodland Lodges were set apart as Dis-

Master. 

We are indebted to Dr. H. Jackson for the following 
sketch of the Orders of Good Templars and Champions of 
the Eed Cross : 



Woodland Lodge, No. 237, I. O. of G. T. 

This Lodge was organized byEev. G. B. Taylor, October

Lodges have been organized in Caclieville, Knight's 
Landing and Davisville, but we have no information re- 
garding tliem; and it was Avitli extreme difficnity that we 
obtained this meager information regarding Woodland 
Lodge. 

Champions of the Red Cross. 

An Encampment of this Order was established in Wood- 
land August 11th, 1870, by Rev. George B. Taylor. Twenty 
charter members are on the records, which constitute the 
strength of the Encampment at present. Officers : H.

Churches and Church Organizations. 

We are indebted to- the pastors of the several denomina- 
tions for the following account of the various Churches in 
the county: 



The Methodist Episcopal Church 

Was first organized in 1855, by J. W. Burton. The minis- 
ters who have been in charge since are as follows : The 
founder, or organizer, Mr. Burton, remained in charge from 
1855 to 1856, when Rev. R. Hobart succeeded, remaining 
through 1857 ; Rev. R. R. Dunlap officiated in 1858-9 ; 
Rev. H. J. Bland, 1860 ; Rev. B. f! Meyers, 1861 ; J. Cor- 
win, 1862 ; J. W. Burton resumed charge in 1863, but died 
during that year and his place was supplied by Rev. Mr. 
Rightmeyer ; Rev. W. N. Smith, 1864 ; Rev. P. Grove, 1865 
(died in 1870); Rev. W. C. Curry, 1866-7-8. Rev. W. C. 



132 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

Damon is tlie present incumbent — [since transferred to Salt 
Lake City.] 

The society has a brick church at Woodland, erected in 
1866, at a cost of forty-five hundred dollars, and a parson- 
age erected in 1862, valued at fifteen hundred dollars ; in 
Cacheville, a frame church, built in 1868, valued at twenty- 
five hundred dollars. Total value of church property, eight 
thousand five hundred dollars. The number of members 
are as follows: Cacheville Church, Kev. E. Stuart, pas- 
tor, seventeen communicants, attendance fifty ; Woodland 
Church, Rev. W. C. Damon, pastor, eighty communicants. 
Sabbath Schools — One in Cacheville, attendance fifty; one 
in Woodland, attendance seventy-five. Summary — Two 
churches, with an average attendance of two hundred and 
twenty-five : two Sabbath Schools, with one hundred pu- 
pils ; church property, value at present ten thousand dol- 
lars, original cost eight thousand five hundred dollars. 

Christian Church. 

We are indebted to Eev. J. N. Pendegast, pastor of this 
church, at Woodland, for the following "Statistics of the 
Church of Christ (Disciples) :" 

"The church at Woodland was organized early in 1854, 
■with about twenty-five members. Elders Thomas Thompson 
and Joshua Lawson officiating. The membership has stead- 
ily increased, large additions having been made from time 
to time, until the whole number of names on the church 
register exceeds six hundred. The present membership 
numbers two hundred and fifty. In the town of Woodland 
this society, as a church, have college property valued at 
twenty thousand dollars and a brick church valued at eight 
thousand dollars. The church service is held on the Sab- 
bath, morning, afternoon and evening; besides the Sunday 
School exercises. The Sunday School is very largely at- 
tended — the pupils number over one hundred. In Buckeye 
a church of this Order was organized in 1858, with twenty 
members, and reorganized in 1865 with forty members. In 
Fairview, or Gordon Valley, another church was organized 



YOLO COUNTY. 133 

ill 1868, with eighteen members. Throughout the county 
the church is in a most prosperous condition. Summary — 
Three church organizations, membership three hundred 
and fifty; Sabbath Schools (one returned), membership 
over one hundred; vahie of church property, thirty thou- 
sand dollars. The figures regarding the Sabbath Schools 
are of necessity incomplete. The number of pupils prob- 
ably approximates one hundred and fifty." 

Southern Methodist Episcopal Church. 

This organization has a fine church, now nearly com- 
pleted, at Knight's Landing. It is frame, rustic design, 
with a commanding spire. Its dimensions are thirty-four 
by fifty feet. The contract price for the building is four 
thousand dollars, S. Smith, contractor and builder. Rev. 
Mr. Kelsey is the present pastor. We are uninformed re- 
garding the strength of the society. 

Cumberland Presbyterians. 

This society has but a few members in the county. Ser- 
vice is held occasionally at what is commonly known as 
the Union Church, near Cacheville. Eev. M. M. Dodson, 
residing near Woodland, is, we think, the only pastor 
belonging to this denomination in the county. 

The United Brethren. 

This denomination hold service at Brown's school-house, 
about two miles west from Woodland. Kev. G. C. Starr, 
pastor. 

Catholics. 

This denomination have in course of construction a brick 
church in Woodland, of which Eev. Father Kelly, of Fol- 
som, is the pastor. When completed, the building will be 
by far the finest building of the kind in the county. The 
congregation is large and pennanent, being composed 
mostly of farmers, wealthy residents of the county. It 
is expected that the church will be completed during the 
year and a resident pastor established in Woodland. 



134 THE WESTERN SHORE G.iZETTEEE. 

Congregational Church- 

The first Congregational Church of AToodland was organ- 
ized during the j^resent summer. At present the meetings 
are held in Templars' Hall. The attendance averages about 
fifty. A Sunday School has been organized with a large 
attendance. Bev. S. R. Rosborro is the resident pastor. 

At Cottonwood is a small congregation with a frame 
church, built by the late Deacon Holden. This church has 
no pastor at present; late incumbent, Rev. J. W. Brier. 

Baptist Church. 
This denomination have preaching in Woodland and at 
two other points in the county. The church is now consid- 
ering the propriety of establishing their headquarters for 
Yolo County at Woodland, and erecting a suitable place of 
public worship. The Rev. J. E. Barnes is pastor. The two 
organizations are called Plainfield Church and Grafton 
Church, holding service at Plainfield and two miles north 
from Cacheville. The entire church numbers about fifty 

members. 

Schools. 

Owing to many causes, we are unable to present as de- 
tailed a statement of school matters pertaining to the county 
as we wished to. The marked apathy existing in many de- 
partments, which has prevented a fair showing of important 
interests, has defeated our aims. From the books of A. C. 
Kean, County Treasurer, who has rendered us valuable as- 
sistance, we have taken the following table, including the 
report of the County Superintendent, of August 26th, 1870. 
Names of districts, number of scholars and the amount of 
apportionment to each district is given, together with the 
balance on hand and credited to the fund of the districts 
named. According to the report of the State Superintend- 
ent, the whole number of school census children, between 
five and fifteen years of age, and entitled to receive State 
money, is two thousand seven hundred and forty-three. 
Amount of apportionment per child, one dollar and three 
cents. Yolo Count}', one thousand nine hundred and ninety- 
five children; amount of apportionment, two thousand fifty-

136 THE WESTEEN SHOEE GAZETTEEK. 

The scliool-liouses of the countj are of varied character, 
some being very good and others the opposite. 

In Meritt's District, a brick school-house Avas erected by 
a few individuals, Messrs. Cave and Curtis being the most 
prominent in the enterprise. The main part of the ex- 
pense was shared by these and a few others, who were dis- 
posed to have a school and school-house in the community. 
A new frame school-house was erected in Cottonwood last 
year and partially finished inside. In Capay Valley we 
find very good school-houses— one built by the late Mr. S. 
Arnold, and a few others, being very creditable. Near 
Woodland we find another brick school-house, and in 
Washington a very creditable frame structure. The nar- 
rowness of the inhabitable land along the Sacramento Biver 
presents an insurmountable barrier to large schools in that 
section. Being thinly settled in portions, the cost of main- 
taining efficient teachers is severely felt, and the same stan- 
dard of excellence is rarely reached there that is attained 
in more favored localities. At Washington, Cacheville, 
Knight's Landing and Woodland, the schools are kept up 
to a high standard of merit. The returns not having been 
made public, we give no percentage of attendance, how- 
ever much we might wish to.

Manufacturing Interests of the County. 

Lender this head are included the flouring mills, saw 
mills, sash and door mills, carpenter shops, blacksmith 
shops, saddle and harness shops, boot and shoe shops, 
wagon and carriage shops, and other branches of industry. 
We have in our estimates not included the cost of material, 
but simply the value of wares manufactured and the cost of 
labor employed. From this estimate must be deducted the 
cost of material, freight, loss, etc., which in many cases we 
were unable to obtain. In connection with this branch of 
industry, we take this opportunity of calling the attention 
of mill-men and manufacturers to the fact that this county 
possesses unrivalled water-power and facilities for the erec- 
tion of large mills and manufactories. Great inducements 
are offered for the erection of a woolen mill — such as free 
power, sufficient stock for a full supply of material raised 
in the county, light taxes, and many other considerations 
of vital importance to capitalists. The annual increase of 
sheep is a certain guarantee of an unlimited supply of wool 
for a mill of the largest class. The enterprising citizens 
should take this matter in hand and secure the speedy erec- 
tion of this much-needed element of prosperity. 

The county possesses all the requisites for successful 
manufactories of various kinds, and we hope to see a sys- 
tem inaugurated which shall add to our material wealth and 
permanent population. 

We are now j)laced in open competition with Eastern 
manufactories and Eastern labor. We posssss all the ele- 
ments for successful competition in our midst, and it re- 
quires but the direction of capital and labor in a compara- 
tively new channel to change the tide of exchange and 
retain within our own State the money which has so long 



138 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

enriclied Eastern manufacturers and impoverislied our citi- 
zens. 

Higli prices affect not tlie trader, but tlie consumer. The 
want of home industries affects not the rich; the loss is in- 
variably borne by the poor. The laborer can well stand a 
reduction in wages, provided the necessaries of life are re- 
duced in a corresponding ratio. 

That wages have decreased is a fact; that they will fall 
still further is a foregone conclusion. We are no longer 
isolated from the world; we have Joined hands with all 
nations and must expect their competition. To guard our- 
selves and our State against the consequences sure to 
follow this change, we must increase our manufactories so 
as to enable us to compete with foreign consumers. 

Flour-Mills. 

Yolo county has three flour-mills, located as follows: 
The Woodland Flouring Mills, Woodland; the Eagle Flour- 
ing Mills, Knight's Landing; and the Cacheville Flour- 
ing Mills, Cacheville. 

The annual product of the mills averages about two hun- 
dred and fifty thousand dollars in value, which could be 
materially increased, as the mills possess a far greater 
capacity, amounting to three hundred and fifty barrels per 
twenty -four hours. 

The brands of flour made at these mills rank among the 
best, having been long and favorably knoAvn. 

Lately the mills have all passed into the hands of enter- 
prising and able men, who will, we hope, run them up 
to their full capacity. 

Eagle Mills. 

These mills are now run by Ehodcs, Beatty & Co. — J. E. 
Rhodes, Sacramento City; George B. Beatty, of Knight's 
Landing, and J. L. Eaves, of Woodland, comprising the 
firm. 

The first mill built in Knight's Landing was erected in 
1856 by Lane & Sherman, and contained one run of stone. 



YOLO COUNTY. 139 

This mill made very good flour, and stood until tlie grow- 
ing trade compelled the erection of a larger structure. 

In 1859, Mr. Zebulon Gardner erected the present flour- 
ing mill, which contains three run of French burrs, one run 
being used for barley, corn, etc. This run is the old flour 
run of the first mill. 

The mill has a capacity of one hundred barrels in twenty- 
four hours, and turns out very superior work. The brand 
has taken the premium at the State Fair over all competi- 
tors, and enjoys a reputation second to none in the State. 

The mill has been running day and night for some time, 
and will run in this manner during the fall and winter, the 
proprietors being unable to otherwise supply the demand. 
The proprietors purchase wheat for milling, paying the 
highest market prices therefor, and in all respects seem in- 
clined to render this in the future, as in the past, a first- 
class mill. 

Cache villa Flour-Mills. 

These mills were erected in 1865, by Dingiey & Hatch . 
They have been in operation from that time until the spring 
of the present year, when they were rented by E. H. 
Easthan, long and favorably known in connection with the 
Eagle Mills, Knight's Landing. Mr. Easthan has thor- 
oughly overhauled and rebuilt the mills, adding a steam 
engine, thereby enabling him to carry on his business at 
any season of the year. Formerly the motive power was 
water. 

Mr. Easthan has added a new run of French burrs, and 
feels confident that with his experience as a miller (thirty 
years), he can turn out as good work as can be found else- 
where. 

It is the intention to make this a first-class merchant and 
custom-mill. A ready market for Avheat can be obtained 
here at all times. The mill has a capacity of one hundred 
and fifty barrels in twenty-four hours.- 

Seely's Flour-Mill. 
Mr. George B. Seely is erecting a flour-mill on Putah 



140 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

Creek, the motive power of which will be water. It will 
contain two run of burrs, and be ready for business by the 
last of October. 

"Woodland Flouring Mills. 

These mills were erected by Adam Gerlach and F. S. 
Freeman, in the spring of 1863. Since that time they have 
been in constant use, turning out a large amount of work. 
They are now run by Rhodes, Eaves & Co. — J. E. Rhodes, 
of Sacramento; George R. Beatty, of Knight's Landing, 
and J. M. Eaves, of Woodland, constituting the company. 
These gentlemen have thoroughly overhauled and repaired 
the mills, and are now prepared to do first-class work in 
every particular. They will be run henceforth as mer- 
chant and custom mills. The j)roprietors prepared the 
mills expressly with this view. The farmers in the vicin- 
ity can find here a ready market for their wheat. These 
mills have a capacity of one hundred barrels per twenty- 
four hours. Their average has been sixty barrels per day, 
running eight months in the year. 

Grouse's Saw-Mill 

Is located at Washington Water Works, Washington. It 
is used for wood-sawing for the railroad company and local 
markets, also for light Sf)litting. A turning lathe and 
other machinery is connected with it. Motive, steam. 
Value of trade, seventy-seven thousand dollars. 

Newton's Mill, 

At Woodland, contains circular and jig saws for light work. 
Unused at present. Motive power, steam. 

Smith's Mill. 

Smith's carpenter-shop, Knight's Landing, is also j)ro- 
vided with steam power, saAvs, turning-lathe and every 
essential for rapid and complete work. Value of trade, 
four thousand dollars. 



YOLO COUNTY. 141 

Sibley's Mill 

Is located at Woodland. Motive power, steam. It is used 
in connection with the carpenter-shop and connected with 
a turning-lathe, planing machine and a morticing and ten- 
oning machine. Motive power, steam. Value of trade, 
about seven thousand dollars. 

Sashes and Doors. 

A sash and door manufactory is in full operation at 
Woodland . It is connected with Sibley's Mill and owned 
and conducted by him. The average annual value of the 
articles manufactured in this department is four thousand 
dollars. 

Recapitulation of Mills. 

Three flour mills, with a capacity of three hundred and 
fifty barrels per twenty-four hours. Average time of labor, 
eight months per year. Average capacity,' eighty-four thou- 
sand barrels. About thirty men are employed at these 
mills, their aggregate earnings amounting to eighteen thou- 
sand dollars. Average value of products, two hundred and 
fifty thousand dollars (not half their capacity). Our esti- 
mates are taken from the past season, before the mills wxre 
repaired, and will probably fall short fully one-third of the 
amount of this year's work. We have estimated the run- 
ning time as eight months; it may be much larger for this 
season. 

The saw-mills and carpenter-shops enumerated employ 
an average of twenty-three men, whose annual earnings 
aggregate twenty-eight thousand dollars. Total earnings 
of milling laborers, forty-six thousand dollars. 

This resume includes only the milling interest of the 
county in grain, and lumber, resawed or manufactured. 
There are no lumber-mills, the county possessing no tim- 
ber suitable for lumbering purposes. 

Leaving this branch of industry, we pass to a brief re- 
view of the 



142 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

Wagon, Carriage and Blacksmith Shops, 

Which are connected in a manner that forbids a separate 
consideration. There are twelve shops in the county where 
wagon and carriage making is extensively conducted in 
connection with blachsmithing, and in most of the other 
shops repairing and a limited amount of new work is done. 
As an evidence of the growth and prosperity of the count}^ 
as illustrated by its manufactories, we give a short sketch 
of 

Elliott's Carriage Manufactory 

And blacksmith-shop. In the spring of 1856 J. McClure 
established the first blacksmith-shop in Woodland, then 
known as "Yolo City." It stood nearly in front of F. S. 
Freeman's old residence for some j-ears, until removed to 
where it now stands, in the rear of the present manufac- 
tory. There was no wood department attached at first. 
In the fall of that year (1856) E. K. Moses commenced 
wood-working in* the shop and continued till the following 
spring, when he opened a shop on what is known as String- 
town Lane. Meanwhile McClure had sold his interest to 
J. Wilgamott, avIio conducted the business until August, 
1857, when he sold the slioj) to E. E. Moses, who removed 
from the lane and began business at the old shop, by first 
rebuilding it and removing it to where it now stands. 
From that time the business was under the supervision of 
Moses, who soon acquired a large trade, which constantly 
increased until he disposed of the business to the present 
proprietor, Clark Elliott, in 1864. From this small begin- 
ning has grown one of the largest manufacturing interests 
in the county and one of the most noted shops in the State. 
The reputation of the wagons first made was second to 
none, and by careful attention to the rules of the trade that 
reputation has been maintained. Fair dealing and good 
work, the mainsprings of success in any industry, have ever 
characterized the establishment, and have been the main 
cause of the rapidly-spreading trade and increasing demand 
for the products of the shop. Finding the old establish- 



YOLO COUNTY. 143 

ment too small for the growing trade, Mr. Elliott erected a 
brick shop, two stories high, twenty-eight by sixty feet, in 
the fall of 1866. The following year he added another, of 
the same height, fifty-six feet front and sixty feet deep, 
making a shop of ninety- four feet front and sixty feet depth. 

We have no hesitancy in pronouncing this the finest and 
best carriage-shop outside of San Francisco, and in its 
completements and necessary machinery it is equal to any 
in that city. About twenty men are employed in the shop, 
which turns out from one hundred and twenty to one hun- 
dred and fifty wagons and buggies during the year. A 
specialty has been made in buggies, a department for this 
class, including trimming, having been established when 
the new shop was built. 

In connection with this shop, we take pleasure in calling 
the attention of the public to the new style buggy springs 
manufactured here, the patent right of which is held by 
Messrs. Elliott & Hiller, the latter named gentleman being 
the inventor. We clip the following description of the 
article from the Scientific Press of September 24th, premis- 
ing that it gives a better account of the invention than we 
could. A cut of the springs when in position will be found 
in another part of the Gazetteer : 

" We have often spoken of the importance of improve- 
ments in the construction of vehicles, with respect both to 
the comfort of the person carried and to the ease of the 
draft animal. We have now another invention of the kind, 
which is well worth the notice of those who are accus- 
tomed to ride considerably in carriages. 

' ' This consists in a certain arrangement of the springs 
and their connections, whereby all the motion ini2:)arted in 
traveling is given directly from the center of the body, and 
combining suitably inclosed rubber springs with wooden 
ones, so that the carriage rides very easily and noiselessly. 
A glance at the drawing will show how this is effected. 

"Curved wooden springs. A, at each side of the body, 
rise in an arch from the bolster and rear axle bed, being 
connected at their centers by a stout transverse bar, shown 
in the cut. To this bar, between the springs, A, is con- 



144 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

nected also a similarly curved spring, B, which, however, 
curves downward, and whose ends are fastened at or near 
the ends of the carriage-body. Thus, all motion received 
in passing over rough ground is transmitted to the body at 
its center, instead of at the ends, as is generally the case. 
The side motion, as well as the end motion, is also greatly 
reduced. 

"The two side springs, A., are connected to the body at 
their center by a device denoted by C. This is constructed 
as follows: Two metal plates are fastened as most con- 
venient to the carriage body and extend down on each side 
of the spring. A vertical slot at the lower part of each 
plate, and a pin extending through this slot from the side 
of the spring, guide it in its motion. Between these plates 
is a block of rubber, usually of the form shown, taper- 
ing downwards towards each end, and curved springs in- 
close this block above and below (between the plates), one 
of which is fastened to the body, the other to the spring. 
Any motion forward or back will cause these springs to 
compress the rubber in that direction, wdthout forcing it 
out of place ; and if the pressure should be very great, the 
ends of the springs will be brought together, and thus give 
additional resistance. 

" In order to give still greater elasticity, and at the same 
time prevent the connection at the ends of A and B from 
working loose, these ends are provided with slots, which 
hold blocks of rubber, which rest on the bolts. This is 
more especially necessary in the spring, B, as when the 
carriage-body rocks forward and backward it causes consid- 
erable end motion, which the lasticity of the spring, G, 
would not be sufficient for. 

" The inventor having made strong claims for the excel- 
lence of his device, a representative of the Press was sent 
to test it. After a satisfactory experiment, he reports that 
for ease and comfort he knows of no superior, if of an 
equal. 

"A patent for this improvement was granted August 
11th, 1870, through the Scientific Press Patent Agency, to 
John R. Hiller and Clark Elliott, of Woodland, Yolo 



YOLO COUNTY. 145 

County, Cal., who may be addressed for any further infor- 
mation." 

This is one of the institutions that add wealth and pros- 
perity to a place — first in the permanent and valuable build- 
ings erected, and secondly in the products of the business. 
Mechanics are producers; and a town can rate its wealth 
and claim permanent prosperity according to its manufac- 
tures. In this respect Woodland is far in advance of many 
towns, her superiors in size but not in enterprising business 
men and manufacturing interests. 

There are other minor shops in Woodland where the 
business of wagon-making is carried on to a limited extent, 
among which are the shops of C. L. Beach, B. Dinsmore 
and Mr. Perry — all on Main Street. 



Plummer's Shop. 

At Knight's Landing is also a large shop, employing 
twenty men and turning out a large number of vehicles of 
every description. The annual number of wagons, bug- 
gies, etc., reaches one hundred and fifty to two hundred, 
manufactured and sold at his shop. 

Peters & Howard's Shop. 

This wagon-shop in Davisville, though much smaller than 
either one mentioned, turns out a large amount of good 
work. The specialty of this shop is wagons, light and 
heavy, averaging from forty to fifty annually. 

Robertson's Shop, 

Also located in Davisville, is doing a good business in light 
and heavy wagons, making from forty to fifty per annum. 
Repairing and blacksmithing in all its branches is con- 
nected with both shops. 

We can only mention the most prominent shops; hence, 
we pass to a brief summary of the trade : 

Wagon- and blacksmith-shops, twelve ; blacksmith-shops, 
10 



146 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

twenty-three; total, tliirty-five. Number of blacksmiths, 
seventy- two. Woodworkers, painters and trimmers, thirty- 
seven. Number of vehicles made, five hundred. Value of 
manufactures, one hundred and twenty-five thousand dol- 
lars; value of trade work, including cost of material, two 
hundred and ten thousand dollars; total value of trade, 
three hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars. Mechanics 
employed, one hundred and nine. Cost of labor, one hun- 
dred and nine thousand dollars. Cost of material consumed, 
one hundred and sixty-three thousand dollars. We have 
not included cost of damaged material, rent of buildings, 
bad debts, etc., in this estimate, which is based on figures 
obtained from the leading shops. 

With this resume we pass to a consideration of the 



Harness and Saddle-Shops. 

We find a record of thirteen shops where the manufac- 
ture of saddles and harness is conducted, the largest of 
which (Deitz's) is situated in Woodland. The number of 
men employed in this branch of manufactures is twenty- 
one, whose annual earnings amount to twenty thousand 
dollars. The value of articles made, including cost of ma- 
terial, is seventy -three thousand dollars. From this must be 
taken the cost of material, the amount of which we are un- 
able to determine. 

Boot and Shoe-Shops. 

There are eleven boot and shoe-shops in the county, 
with fifteen men, working at custom-work. The value of 
the wares aggregate about seventeen thousand dollars. 
Value of labor, eight thousand five hundred dollars. Esti- 
mates of material consumed not given. 



Carpenters' Shops. 

There are four large carpenter-shops and many small 
ones in the county. No estimate of the value of the manu- 



YOLO COUNTY. 147 

factnres can be given, as the material and labor are insep- 
arably connected. There are ninety-five carpenters in the 
county, about fifty of whom are working at their trade, the 
others being employed at other vocations. Their earnings 
may be estimated at fifty thousand dollars. 

Cabinet-Shops. 

There are three cabinet-shops in the county, where a lim- 
ited amount of furniture is manufactured. The aggregate 
value of wares is five thousand dollars. 

Bakeries. 

There are four bakeries in the county, doing an aggregate 
business of sixteen thousand eight hundred dollars. The 
labor of seven men is estimated at five thousand dollars. 

Breweries— Yolo Brewery. 

There are two large breweries in Woodland, one of which 
(the Yolo Brewery) was established in 1861 by Scherley & 
Miller, the present proprietors. The first brewery was a 
small frame building, put up about two miles from town. 
In 1862 it was moved to the site of the present brewery, 
on Main Street, where it still stands by the side of the new 
edifice. In 1868 the present brewery was erected, which is 
forty by fifty feet, two stories high and built of brick. The 
brewery has a capacity of six barrels per day, but is only 
run for the home market, averaging about eight barrels per 
week. A large still is included in the brewery, but is not 
used, owing to the revenue restrictions. A part of the hops 
used in brewing are raised by the proprietors, as well as a 
large portion of the barley. Three men are employed con- 
stantly, besides the proprietors. 

"Woodland Brewery. 

This brewery was established in February, 1870, by George 
and John Wirth. This building is of wood, twenty by thirty 



148 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

feet and one story high. The brew.ery apparatus has a ca- 
pacity of five to six barrels per day, but is run only for 
local market. The proj^rietors employ two men, and pur- 
chase all their hops and barley. 

It is the intention of the proprietors to enlarge their busi- 
ness, and compete with other breweries for the trade in 
other localities. 

The beer manufactured in Yolo County has long sustained 
a first-class reputation, it being asserted that the water is 
peculiarly adapted to the business. The annual sales from 
these breweries reach about fifteen thousand dollars. 



"Wineries. 

There are several establishments in Yolo County where 
wine is manufactured in greater or lesser quantities. Sev- 
eral farmers who have small vineyards make wine from 
their surplus grapes. Of this class we make no mention, 
as the amount so made is not prepared for market, and we 
have no data by which to arrive at the quantity. 

But there are several wdneries where wine of various 
brands is made; also, brandies and vinegar. First among 
these, because the oldest, is the 

Capay Valley "Winery, 

At Gillig's Eanch, Capay Valley. At this place the annual 
crop from the home vineyard is manufactured into wine, 
beside the crops of several small vineyards in the surround- 
ing neighborhood. About thirty thousand gallons of wine 
are manufactured yearly at this jDlace— the white and red 
varieties. 

Woodland Winery No. 2. 

This winery was established in July, 1869, by Messrs. 
Lallemond & Mendssolle. Their specialties are claret and 
champagne. In 1869 they purchased two hundred and ten 
tons of grapes, from which they manufactured twenty-six 
thousand gallons of wine and twenty-five thousand gallons 



YOLO COUNTY. 149 

of brandy. Tlieir liquors are sent to the San Francisco 
market, a branch of their European house having been long 
established in that city. 

"Woodland Winery No. 1 , or Stoutenberg's Winery, 

Was established September, 1866, by E. Barnes. On the 
twenty-second of October, the first wine was made. The vint- 
age of 1866 was twelve thousand gallons of wine and nine 
thousand gallons of brandy. 

In 1867, three thousand gallons of wine, two thousand 
gallons of vinegar and eight hundred gallons of brandy 
were manufactured. 

In 1868, about the same amount was added. In 1869, the 
winery was idle, and it so remained until 1870, when it was 
purchased by the present proprietor, Mr. Stoutenberg. 

About five thousand gallons of wine, red and white, are 
now on hand of the vintage of 1866-7-8. 

The Orleans-Hills Winery 

Is owned by a joint-stock company; capital, one hundred 
thousand dollars.; place of business, Sacramento. The vine- 
yard is located in the foothills, near the mouth of Cache 
Creek Canon, about eighteen miles northwest from Wood- 
land. The vines are all on the hills, and receive no irriga- 
tion. The varieties grown are selections from the best 
known German and other foreign grapes, such as are pecu- 
liarly adapted to wine-making. A very superior article of 
white and red wine is prepared by this company, which 
commands a high price and finds a ready sale. Five thou- 
sand gallons were made last year. Mr. Knautli, a practical 
German wine-maker, has charge of the business. 

Schindler's Winery. 
At Cacheville, D, Schindler manufactures wine of different 
qualities, including some choice varieties. There are sev- 
eral places of smaller note in the county, but we have 
glanced at the most prominent. 



150 THE WESTERN SHOEE GAZETTEER. 

The estimated manufacture for tlie present year is put 
down at one hundred thousand gallons of wine, valued at 
fifty thousand dollars. We cannot estimate the brandy; in 
that we .can only take the last year's record, as much depends 
on the price of new wines. 

In 1869, about seven thousand gallons of brandy were 
made, valued at ten thousand dollars. Total, wine and 
brandy, sixty thousand dollars. 

Refinery. 

At Washington, a refinery has been established, for the 
purpose of redistilling liquors, or the removing of the 
fusil oil from liquors distilled in the ordinary way. The 
parties putting up the machinery claim that they can remove 
every particle of the fusil oil from the native liquors, there- 
by removing the great objection to California brandies. 
Should they be able to perform what they promise, it will 
be of great benefit to the trade, as the chief objection 
raised against California brandy is the great quantities of 
this dangerous element found in all samples. So far it is 
but an experiment, as the machinery was put up this sea- 
son, and we are obliged to await results before determining 
on the merits of the invention, which was patented but a 
short time since by an Eastern distiller. Therefore we 
make no estimates regarding the value of manufacturers, 
neither can we estimate the value of labor connected there- 
with. The proprietors, Messrs. Wilcox & Rock, are gentle- 
men of large experience and practical workers. We may 
confidently expect satisfactory results from the undertaking. 
Success in this direction will be of incalculcable benefit to 
the wine- and brandy-makers of the State. 

Brick Making and Prick- Yards. 

In Woodland are two large brick-yards, owned by Nathan 
Elliott and Mr. Craft. These yards do a large business, as 
large or larger than all other yards in the county com- 
bined. 



YOLO COUNTY. 151 



Elliott's Brick- Yard. 

In the spring of 1865 Mr. Elliott commenced the manu- 
facture of brick in Woodland, making during that season 
three hundred and fifty thousand brick. In 1866 he made 
seven hundred and fifty thousand. During those two 
years Mr. Elliott's yard was the only one in Woodland. 
In 1867 A. Armstrong opened a brick-yard, the number 
made by him being six hundred thousand. That season 
Elliott turned out five hundred thousand brick. In 1868-9 
the yard was idle, its owner being engaged in other busi- 
ness. This present season Elliott's yard will turn out 
twelve hundred thousand brick. Thus far the brick made 
in Woodland has been used in that town. With the facili- 
ties of railroad transportation the Woodland brick-yards 
can now compete successfully with those of any part of the 
State. The quality manufactured is inferior to none, and 
they can be furnished anywhere along the railroad at San 
Francisco or Sacramento prices. 

Cacheville Brick- Yard. 

About half a mile from Cacheville, on the Woodland 
road, is the brick-yard and kilns of Mr. Lott Day. About 
two hundred and fifty thousand brick are made here an- 
ually and are disposed of in the local market. 

Lang's Brick- Yard. 

At the mouth of Cache Creek Canon, twenty miles north- 
east from Woodland, J. Lang has established a large brick- 
yard, which will be conducted as a permanent business. 
The quality of the brick is excellent, and the nature of the 
soil is such that superior facilities are afforded for making 
an excellent article. The market for this yard will be found 
both in the local demand and other parts of the county. 
About two hundred and fifty thousand will be made at this 
yard this season. 



152 THE WESTEEN SHOEE GAZETTEEE. 



Craft's Brick- Yard 

Is located in Woodland, and was established in 1867. 
Since it lias been in operation it has turned out a large 
quantity of excellent brick, most of which have been used 
in Woodland. In fact, there has been at no time in Wood- 
land any great amount of brick left over after the building 
season was past, when it was often extremely difficult to 
obtain small quantities; but this will be remedied in the 
future. Craft's yard will turn out two million brick this 
year, which, with those made at the other yards, will meet 
the constantly increasing demand. 

At Elliott's, Craft's and Lang's yards, the proprietors 
will keep a full supply on hand. 

About four million two hundred thousand brick will be 
made in the county this season, valued at twenty-nine thou- 
sand seven hundred dollars. 

Tailors. 
There are three tailor-shops in Woodland, confined to cus- 
tom-work. The trade being limited to this class of work, 
we record no employees, the business being conducted by 
the proprietors. We have no means of knowing the annual 
trade, and therefore make no estimate. 

Chicory. 

In 1860 Adolph Palm and Henry Harmes commenced the 
cultivation and manufacturing of chicorj^, on the Sacra- 
mento Eiver, a few miles below Washington. Their first 
experiment was with seed imported from Germany, which 
proved successful. The first year they planted fifteen acres, 
which they have gradually increased, until now they culti- 
vate sixty acres. The average yield is about thirty tons of 
green chicory. When prepared for market it is shipped 
dried to San Francisco, and there sold at wholesale. 

The article is pronounced superior to the imported, and 
commands eight to nine cents per pound. The cost of the 
imported article in the United States is estimated at four 



YOLO CODNTY. 153 

million dollars per annum, wliicli could all be supplied 
from this State would producers but turn their attention to 
it. There is almost unlimited quantities of suitable land 
along the rivers and creeks of this State, sufficient at least 
to raise all the chicory consumed in the Union. 

At jDresent there is a duty of five per cent, on the im- 
ported article, which enables our people to compete with 
the cheaper foreign labor. Should that be removed it 
would be impossible to compete with the foreign produc- 
tion and the growing of chicory in California would cease 
to be profitable, and consequently would be abandoned. 
We are informed by Mr. Palm that ten years of consec- 
utive seeding has not injured the land or abated the yield; 
on the contrary, the land appears to have improved under 
the culture. 

Chicory, when properly prepared, is used as a substitute 
for coffee, being generally mixed with it in the proportion 
of one pound of chicory to three of coffee; and generally 
the ground coffee on sale is one-third chicory. Many pre- 
fer the mixed article, and there have been times in San 
Francisco when chicory commanded a higher price than 
coffee, owing to the supply being insufficient to meet the 
demand for that particular kind of coffee which is so largely 
composed of chicory. 

When growing, chicory root somewhat resembles the 
wild parsnip in appearance, though the leaves are long, 
slender and swordlike, with smooth edges. The clusters of 
leaves, in formation and manner of growth, resemble the 
beet-top, though each individual leaf bears no resemblance 
to the leaf of the beet. In color they are of a bright green, 
while the bulb or root, is a dirty, yellowish white. 

The ground is prepared for chicory the same as for beets 
or carrots. The seed is then planted in drills, about 
eighteen inches or two feet being left between the rows. 
It is planted from the latter part of February until the 
middle of April, thus avoiding the ripening of tlie whole 
crop at one time. It has been sown as late as the fifth of 
May, and ripened well, producing a good yield. 

Sometimes the growing crop is injured by a species of 



154 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

flea wliicli eats the tops, thereby stunting the growth of the 
root. This pest rarely makes its appearance, however, and 
as a general rule the plant is molested by nothing and 
requires no more care than that necessary to keep the 
ground clear of weeds. 

There are employed on this chicory farm nine white men, 
the year together; and during the harvesting and curing of 
the crop twenty -five Chinamen are employed. 

When fully ripe the chicory is pulled and the root separ- 
ated from the top, the latter being of no value. The roots 
are then run through a cutter, which cuts them in thin 
slips. After they pass through the cutter they are spread 
out on the platforms to dry in the sun. This occupies from 
four to six days, according to the weather. There are two 
platforms for drying the root, raised about four feet from 
the ground and covered with boards. One is eighty-four 
by one hundred feet, the other forty-eight by one hundred 
and seventy-five feet. When sufficiently cured the chicory 
is removed to the mill, where it is placed in two revolving 
iron drums and thrust into the furnaces, where it is roasted. 
This is a very nice and particular operation, and great care 
must be exercised lest the "batch" be spoiled. From the 
drums it is removed to the coftee-mill, where it is ground; 
from thence to the packing-room, where it is packed in bar- 
rels containing from one hundred and fifty to two hundred 
pounds and shipped to market. 

This may serve to inform our readers of the manner in 
which chicory is grown and prepared for their tables. 

The mill, engine and machinery cost about ten thousand 
dollars. The yearly sales from this establishment approxi- 
mate fifty thousand dollars. Cost of labor, ten thousand 
dollars. 

Recapitulation. 

We have now glanced at the most important branches of 
industry, with the ^exception of the dairy, which will be 
treated in connection with the dairy farms of the county. 
We will briefly recapitulate the value of manufactures, so 
far as can be ascertained. 



YOLO COUNTY. 155 

In forming the estimates for the flour-mills we took last 
year's reports, and upon that shall base our estimates for 
this year. We hcive also, in most cases, recorded the work- 
ing time of mechanics and shops at eight months. The 
various wages of tradesmen have been reckoned at the 
average prices — three dollars, three dollars and fifty cents, 
and four dollars per day, exclusive of board. We find the 
annual value of the flouring trade to be two hundred and 
fifty thousand dollars. Saw-mills and sash and door manu- 
factory, twelve thousand dollars. Employed in these two 
branches, fifty-three men; wages, forty-six thousand dollars. 
In the mills and carpenter-shops, the work might safely be 
put down for the year, instead of the time we have com- 
puted. Wagon, carriage and blacksmith trade, three hun- 
dred and thirty -five thousand dollars; cost of labor, one 
hundred and nine thousand dollars. Harness and saddle 
trade, fifty-three thousand dollars; cost of labor, twenty 
thousand dollars. Boot and shoe trade, seventeen thousand 
dollars; cost of labor, eight thousand five hundred dollars. 
Carpenters' trade (no estimate) ; cost of labor, fifty thousand 
dollars. Cabinet-ware trade, five thousand dollars. Bak- 
er's trade, sixteen thousand eight hundred dollars; cost of 
labor, five thousand dollars. Brewers' trade, fifteen thou- 
sand dollars; cost of labor (proprietors not included), 
three thousand dollars. Wine and brandy trade, sixty 
thousand dollars; cost of labor, seven thousand dollars. 
Brick trade, twenty-nine thousand four hundred dollars; 
cost of labor, five thousand dollars. Chicory trade, fifty 
thousand dollars ; cost of labor, ten thousand dollars. 
Total value of manufactures, eight hundred and forty-three 
thousand two hundred dollars. Total value of labor so 
engaged, two hundred and sixty-three thousand five hun- 
dred dollars. Total cost of material used, no reliable 
estimate as a whole, but parts of the trades enumerated, 
return sums that foot up over three hundred and forty 
thousand dollars. 

To this STinimary may be added the tinners' trade, which 
employs about eight men, at a yearly pay-roll of six thou- 
sand dollars, making two hundred and sixty-nine thousand 



156 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

five hundred dollars paid the various branches of manufac- 
tures enumerated. The sum will be increased to three hun- 
dred thousand dollars by smaller branches, of which no 
mention has been made. In including expenses of manu- 
factures, we must consider all material used, rent and in- 
surance, value of property, machinery, etc., and these par- 
ticulars we were unable to obtain in season for this volume. 
Hence, the expenses attending these manufactures, with 
but few exceptions, have been omitted, as the data furnished 
us was too crude to be of service. 

Imports. 

Under this head we include all articles of merchandise, 
but nothing further. Stock of several varieties have been 
imported during the year, as will be mentioned elsewhere. 
For our purj)ose, the import trade of our merchants is suf- 
ficient. From our most reliable business men we have 
received full information, from which we base our estimates. 
The sums given embrace the lumber trade, which is very 
large — much heavier for this and the last year than it has 
been at any previous time. This fact is owing to the spirit 
of improvement manifested by our citizens. Buildings of 
various kinds are going up all over the county, and the un- 
sightly cabins are rapidly giving place to comfortable and 
in many instances elegant and costly dwellings. Farms that 
have long "laid out to the commons," as it would be termed 
elsewhere, are being fenced as rapidly as the means of the 
owners will permit. Owing to this our imports present an 
alarming array of figures, which, if not rightly understood, 
would subject us to the charge of extravagance. For many 
years to come the imports of lumber in this county will 
reach up among the hundred thousands, or about half a 
million, per year — another reason why this county should 
be connected by rail with the Mendocino lumber regions. 

Another very large item in our import list is hardware 
and agricultural tools. A glance at the books of our im- 
porters will give an idea of the magnitude of this branch 
of imports. Gray & AVood, of Woodland, and Griflith & 



YOLO COUNTY. 157 

Co., of Caclieville, import largely of this class. Much of 
this might be saved the county were the manufacturiug in- 
terest properly represented. We notice among the articles 
at Gray & "Wood's many manufactured entirely of Eastern 
material and by Eastern labor. These articles could be 
made here and sold as cheaply as now, and the profits of the 
labor retained in our midst. 

The amount of our annual imports foot up to two million 
three hundred and eighty-one thousand seven hundred and 
thirteen dollars. 

List of the Heaviest Importers. 

Gray & Wood, Woodland, hardware and agricultural 
tools. 

Griffith & Co., Caclieville, general merchandise and ag- 
ricultural tools. 

E. S. Freeman, Woodland, general merchandise. 
Huston & Goldman, Knight's Landing, dry goods. 
Dresbach & Co., Davisville, general merchandise. 
Laugenour & Brownell, Knight's Landing, farming imple- 
ments and lumber. 

Fleishman & Kaufman, Woodland, dry goods and gro- 
ceries. 

Exports. 

The principal articles of export are wheat, barley, fruit 
of all kinds, vegetables, stock of all kinds, dairy products, 
wood, wool, wine, eggs, poultry, and the eggs of the silk- 
worm. Ha}'^ cannot be considered as forming a part of our 
exports, as the average product is no more than used here. 
It is true that from part of the county hay is exported in 
considerable quantities during some seasons, but a fair 
average of one year with another would leave but little, if 
any, surplus in the county. From various sources, our ex- 
ports foot up to two million nine huncjlred and forty-eight 
thousand eight hundred and twenty dollars. 

List of the Heaviest Exporters. 

F. S. Freeman, Woodland, produce, wool, grain, etc» 



158 THE "WESTERN SHORE' GAZETTEER. 

Tliomas & Hunt, Woodland, grain.

Among our heavy exporters of stock we could enumerate 
many whose sales run far up in the thousands annually, but 
a reference to our stock table is sufficient, and will answer 
every purpose. 

We now turn our attention to other matters of interest 
connected with the county. 

Sales of Town Lots. 

The following table shows the principal sales of town 
lots in the several towns of Yolo County since the first of

Sales of Land. 

The following table sliows the principal sales of farming 
and gardening lands in Yolo County since tlie 1st of Janu- 
ary, 1869, as sliown by the county records up to August 1st, 
1870. The names of the grantors are alphabetically ar- 
ranged. There have been many other transfers of real 
estate, but the lands conveyed thereby have been in some 
instances swamp and overflowed, in others mountain lands, 
and in others transfers of possessory rights, without title, 
so that it is believed the table shows a fair estimate of the 
transfers of the farming lands within the time specified :

G-rape Culture. 

As will be seen by reference to otlier parts of this work, 
the grape is largely cultivated in this county. The princi- 
pal variety now bearing is the Mission or California grape, 
though many foreign varieties have been planted, and are 
now producing excellent fruit. Those now engaged in put- 
ting out vineyards, mostly choose the foreign grape, prefer- 
ing them for wine-making for various reasons. The number 
of acres in grapes is about five hundred, not including many 
small lots. The value of the grape culture is best exempli- 
fied by taking the records of those who have made it a spe- 
cialty. Mr. N. Wyckoff, near Woodland, says: "At one 
cent per pound — assured — there is more money in the grape 
than in wheat. It will pay three times better, considering 
the cost of plowing, harvesting, wear of land, etc." In 1862, 
the gross yield of his grapes j)er acre amounted to one hun- 
dred and sixty-two dollars, netting him one hundred and 
twenty-five dollars per acre. If the farmer nets from seven 
to twelve dollars per acre on wheat, he does well — better 
by far than the average. One great want is felt, which, if 
supplied, would render grape culture one of the leading 
features of the county — an assured home market. If an 
organization could be formed, with capital suflicient to 
carry on wine-making and purchase the grapes grown in 
the county, but a few years would elapse before a large 
portion of the lands suitable would be planted in vineyards. 
J. Knauth, who has had the benefit of a California expe- 
rience in wine-making, pronounces the foothills of Yolo 
County, or portions of them, equal to the vine lands of 
Germany. As he possesses a scientific education, com- 
bined with a practical experience of twenty years in the 
vineyards of Germany, he should be considered good au- 
thority in this matter. Mr. Knauth visited the whole wine- 
growing portions of the State, and, after carefully and 
critically analyzing the soil in various localities, finally set- 
tled on the foothills of Yolo, as possessing the natural qual- 
ities of soil required to enable the wine grape to be grown 
successfully. One main feature of the foothills essentially 



YOLO COUNTY. 171 

requisite in grape-growing districts, where it is intended to 
make wine, is tlie absence of alkali. Another fact wliicli 
recommends tliem is tliis — the racy nature of the soil and 
the presence of the bed-rock, or a very hard substratum 
near the surface; this also being considered by grape- 
growers as essential. For these reasons principally the 
Orleans Yinicultural Association has located its vineyard, 
on the hills, near Capay Valley, where Mr. Knauth first 
started his vineyard, which now forms part of the Com- 
pany's grounds. The quality of this wine and the superior 
price obtained for it, at home and abroad, fully justify Mr. 
Knauth's predictions and selection. 



Stock Interests of the County— Horses. 

It is frequently said, when speaking of this county, that 
it is a grain county, and has only this one reliance ; hence, 
in seasons when the grain crops fail, this county feels the 
loss more than many others. The remark is correct in the 
main, but still a very large amount is invested in stock in 
the county, a portion of which will not yield a large per 
cent, on the money invested, taking the supposed value of 
such stock as a basis for calculation. Poor stock, or poor 
qualities of stock, such as mustang horses and bronco cat- 
tle, will not pay well in any county, in comparison with bet- 
ter breeds. The half-breed cattle, now nearly exhausted in 
this county, do well for beef, but this market presents no 
demand for half-breed horses for the butchers' stalls. Al- 
though ready to adopt most of the French customs, the peo- 
ple of Yolo have not yet tried horse flesh as an article of 
food. There are in the county a large number of half-breed 
and mustang horses that to-day would not sell for the half 
of what it has cost to raise them, where pasturage is at all 
valuable or scarce, as it is in this county. Instead of di- 
minishing, they are on the increase in portions of the 
county, where allowed to run at large, and the consequent 
result has been large bands of horses of little value, which 
deprive an equal number of good horses of a place in the 
range. Were this matter rectified and clean cattle and

liorses put in tlieir place, tlie stock valuation of Yolo County 
would be doubled at once. To tbose wishing to purchase 
saddle or light draft horses, we would say come to Yolo; 
they are plenty here and should be cheap. 

Aside from this class, the county can truly boast of fine 
liorses. Our most enterprising farmers have rid themselves 
of their half-breeds and mustangs and supplied the deficit 
with fine American stock. Many of our wealthier citizens 
have imported the best blooded stallions and brood mares 
to be had, of draft, carriage and roadster stock, including 
some of the best trotters in the State. A reference to the 
reports of the State Agricultural Society will enable one to 
form a very correct estimate of the quality of the stock in 
this county, for we find that Yolo has received a fair share of 
premiums, and has exhibited her full proportion of blooded 
liorses, along with other first-class stock-cattle, sheep and 
swine. The whole number of horses in the county is eight 
thousand eight hundred and eighty-six, valued at five hun- 
dred and thirty-three thousand one hundred and sixty dol- 
lars. 

Mules. 

The whole number of mules is one thousand and thirty- 
five, valued at one hundred and three thousand five hundred 
dollars. 

Jacks and Jennies. 

The whole number is — Jacks, two ; Jennies, twenty-three ; 
total, twenty-five, valued at three thousand five hundred 
dollars. 

Cattle. 

The county is well supplied with good cattle, and in parts 
of the county one can find very choice blooded stock. This 
can be traced in a measure to the influence of the State Fairs, 
but more particularly to a circumscribed limit of pasturage 
or range. We notice that those localities nearer the City 
of Sacramento average better cattle, as a rule, than is found 
in parts more remote. The lists of entries of cattle for 



YOLO COUNTY. 173 

competitiou at the fairs are in favor of these localities, per- 
haps owing to the fact that they possess the advantages of 
living near the fair-grounds. But as the range for stock has 
been narrowed by the encroachment of the grain fields, it 
has been found necessary to improve the breeds, and, with 
a few head, reap as much or more profit than was formerly 
received from large herds of small, scrawny, light stock, 
such as formerly ranged over these plains. 

This restriction, not being so much felt in the unsur- 
veyed mountain ranges, the quality of the stock has not 
been improved in those localities in the same ratio, though 
great progress is now visible in the increasing excellence of 
the herds in that section. The whole number of cattle in 
the county is eleven thousand four hundred and twenty-four 
head, divided as follows: Milch cows, three thousand three 
hundred and thirty; work oxen, four; other cattle, eight 
thousand and ninety head ; value, three hundred and thirty- 
two thousand seven hundred and twenty dollars. 

Hogs. 

The "root of all evil," the proverb says is money. The 
root of Yolo County is hogs — hogs in the marshes, hogs on 
the plains, hogs in the mountains, hogs everywhere, and a 
few scattering ones running around loose. The mountains 
are full of wild hogs and the valleys support their share of 
tame ones. Hog traj^s are plenty in the hills, and hog hunts 
are becoming as plenty and famous as the royal boar hunts 
of old. 

The profits arising from raising this animal are very great, 
as it is very prolific, arrives at maturity early, and eats what 
other animals refuses, yet refuses what other animals will 
eat. There are few counties in the State so well adapted to 
the wants of this animal as Yolo County. The vast marshes 
are well supplied with esculent roots, on which the hog de- 
lights to feed — in fact this animal prefers roots. The moun- 
tain ranges furnish vast fields of pasturage of little value to 
the cattle, and the chapparel berries refused by other stock 
are eagerly sought by the peculiar animal under considera- 



174 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

tion, and Avlien driven from tlie hills to tlie stubble field of 
tlie plains, lie is generally sleek and fat. During tlie fall 
vast droves of hogs can be seen scattered through the 
stubble fields fattening preparatory to being driven to mar- 
ket. The general breeds now common are the Suftblk, 
Berkshire and Chinese. The whole number of hogs in the 
county, as near as can be estimated, is thirty thousand seven 
hundred and twenty-five, valued at one hundred and twenty 
thousand dollars. 

Sheep, 

This county is becoming well supplied with sheep, many 
of which are of excellent quality. Several years since, 
Messrs. Gillig & Arnold imported some very fine Merino 
sheep for their ranch in Capay Yalley; and in this connec- 
tion we will remark that they also purchased for the same 
place some fine Cashmere goats, male and female; but of 
the result of the latter venture we have no record. The in- 
creased value and improved quality of the sheep in that 
locality is due in a great measure to this importation, giving 
as it did an impetus in the right direction. Later, the 
Hoppin Brothers, of Cacheville, became the owners of some 
Cotswolds, from which they have secured one of the finest 
bands of sheep in the county. Judge Hutton, also of 
Cacheville, has full-blood Spanish Merinos, his whole band 
averaging three-fourths to seven-eighths blood of that vari- 
ety. We might enumerate others, but these stand more 
prominently before the public as men who have taken more 
interest in perfecting their stock of various kinds, and have 
expended much time and money in experiments tending to 
that result. The raising of sheep has so far proved very 
profitable, and the interest in this branch of stock is yearly 
increasing. The whole number of sheep in the county is 
seventy- three thousand two hundred and twenty-one ; value, 
one hundred and fifty-three thousand four hundred and 
fifty-two dollars.

County Finances. 

There is money now in the county treasury to pay all war- 
rants issued and registered on the general fund prior to 
the second day of March, 1869; and the taxes to be col- 
lected the present season will doubtless extinguish all the 
indebtedness of that fund up to August of the present 3'ear. 
Warrants on this fund sell at eighty-seven per cent. 

Hospital Fund. 

There is money now in the treasury to pay all indebted- 
ness of this fund that accrued prior to December 8th, 
1869. The taxes of the present season will extinguish the 
indebtedness. Warrants sell at ninety cents. 

The Road Fund is behind from December 8th, 1868. 
The taxes of the present year may pay all indebtedness of 
that fund that accrued prior to January, 1870. 

Of the Swamp Land Fund there is now in the county 
treasury a surplus of six thousand seven hundred and

eighty -four dollars and eiglity-tliree cents, subject to Avar- 
rants that may be hereafter issued. 

We have now given brief notices of the leading interests 
of the county, as far as the size and nature of our work 
would permit. We will briefly refer to the general 



Climate 

Of the county. The winters are mild, snow rarely falling 
in the valley, and we believe it has not fallen to lie twelve 
hours but twice within the recollection of the ' ' oldest 
inhabitant." Frosts are frequent during the winter sea- 
son, sometimes freezing thin ice on shallow, still water. 
In the foothills but little frost is felt, and from the first 
rains vegetation grows rapidly. During the summer the 
heat is very severe, the thermometer frequently standing at 
one hundred degrees and upwards for several days in suc- 
cession, though the average length of the ' ' hot spells " is 
about three days, when a cooler " spell" sets in, continu- 
ing from a week to ten days. The south wind generally is 
cool and refreshing, and accompanies the cooler weather, 
bringing the invigorating sea breezes in its train. The 
cessation of the south wind is frequently followed by the 
north wind, which in summer is hot, dry and scorching in 
the extreme, but in the rainy season it is cold and dry, gen- 
erally, but if accompanied by rain, the storms are the most 
bleak of the season. 

Newspapers. 

In the historical part of this work will be found a record 
of the newspapers of the past. We, dealing only with the 
present, offer the following sketch of the newspapers now 
published : 

The " Yolo Democrat." 

This journal was established November 23d, 1867, by 
W. A. Henry & Co., publishers; edited by Mr. Henry. It 
was thus conducted until May 1st, 1868, when it passed 



YOLO COUNTY. 177 

into tlie liands of tlie "Democrat Publishing Company," 
. nnder whose management it remained until September 
30th, 1869. During this period the paper was conducted 
strictly as a Democratic Journal, as its name implies, and, 
by the way, it holds and enunciates the same doctrines 
now. On September 30th, 1869, Messrs. H. C. Grover and 
William Saunders became the proprietors, and the paper 
was increased to its present size at the commencement of 
its third year and volume, the old type giving place to a 
new dress. It is now a twenty-four by thirty-six sheet, 
equal in typographical appearance to any country paper. 
With this change the word " County " was dropped from 
the heading, leaving the present name. Grover & Saun- 
ders continued the publication until February 1st, 1870, 
when Mr. Grover withdrew from the firm and William 
Saunders became sole owner. It is now published and 
edited by him as a strictly Democratic journal, and is de- 
servedly popular with the party. It has a large circulation, 
and as an advertising medium it is equal to any. It is now 
the official paper of the county, steadily increasing in cir- 
culation, and fast achieving an enviable success. The job 
office connected with this journal is complete and ample 
for all business demands, and the work will compare favor- 
ably with any turned out elsewhere. Day of publication, 
Saturday. 

The ^'Yolo Weekly Mail." 

The first number of this journal was issued on the first 
Thursday of October, 1868, by C. Y. Hammond, editor 
and proprietor. It was in the midst of the political excite- 
ment of the Presidential campaign, and the Union Eepub- 
*lican party being without an organ in Yolo County, the 
leading men of the -paHj determined to found a newspaper 
which should represent their political views, believing that 
such a journal could be maintained and become a perma- 
nent institution. Accordingly, C. Y. Hammond, an old 
editor and publisher, of Amador County, was conferred 
with, and the result was the establishment of the Yolo 
Weekly Mail, as stated -in the opening of this paragraph. 
12 



178 THE WESTEEN SHORE GAZETTEEE. 

Mr, Hammond publislied the paper witli marked success 
during the campaign of 1869, and the patronage extended 
evidences the success of the experiment. With the ad- 
vance of the prosperity of the community, the patronage of 
the journal and its circulation has steadily increased to the 
present time, when the journal stands on a firm founda- 
tion. 

On the twenty-third of December, 1869, Mr. Hammond 
disposed of the office to Messrs. Wagstaff and Jones, by 
whom it was published, the former being editor, until the 
twenty-third of May, 1870, when Mr. Jones retired and the 
present editor and proprietor became sole owner. With 
the first change mentioned, when Messrs. Wagstaff and 
Jones became the proprietors, the features of the paper 
were materially changed in all but its political views. 
During the winter of 1869-70, the future was rather gloomy, 
owing to the scarcity of money in the county and the an- 
ticipation of short crops. But the citizens of Woodland 
have generally proven themselves equal to any emergency, 
and with the sj)ring came increased patronage and an as- 
sured success. 

On Mr. Wagstaff's assuming sole control of the journal, 
he immediately relieved it of the heavy debt by which it 
was burdened and placed it upon a secure basis financially. 
The circulation of the journal is large and constantly in- 
creasing, and, as an advertising medium, it has no superior 
in the county. The job office is complete in all its details, 
and is presided over by an excellent workman. Politically 
the paper is now, as when first issued, an uncompromis- 
ing Republican journal. Day of publication, Thursday. 



City Papers. 

The circulation of other journals in the county is very 
large, the Sacramento Union having the lead, followed by 
the San Francisco Chronicle, which holds the second 
place. The Becord and Bee, of Sacramento, also have 
a large circulation, and the Bulletin and Call of San 



YOLO COUNTY. 179 

Francisco are taken largely, tlie former by business firms, 
for its shipping and mercantile reports. 

Among tlie weeklies the Rescue leads the list, except- 
ing the Weekly Union, which is found in most of the farm- 
houses in the county. It is very rare now that you find a 
farm-house in the county that has not one or both of the 
county papers and a weekly beside, and a daily if practica- 
ble. With increased mail facilities a large increase would 
be noted in the circulation of daily journals in the county. 

Marriages. 

The following is a literal copy of the register of mar- 
riages that have taken place in this county since March, 
1851. Owing to frequent delays in returning the certificates 
for filing, the dates seem to be somewhat mixed, as will be 
noticed in the copy :

PROSPECTIYE EEYIEW. 

We have now finished our descriptive local matter, and 
from what we have written we trust the reader can form a 
very correct estimate of the importance, value and general 
characteristics of Yolo County, Before we close this vol- 
ume we desire to say a few words to 

Emigrants, 

And to those who desire to see this county peopled by an 
industrious and energetic population, who shall settle on 
the rich lands which lie so invitingly before them, making- 
permanent homes in our midst, thus adding to the general 
wealth and prosperity of the county. Such is our earnest 
wish, and such, we believe, is the wish of all who have the 
interest of the county at heart and possess liberal views 
regarding the right of labor to seek a home among us. 
Especially do we desire to welcome that class of emigrants 
who come to till the soil, to extract from thence the wealth 
now slumbering there. We desire to see these broad 
plains dotted with farmhouses, each of which shall be a 
home, the citadel of a homestead. We desire to see the 
now unoccupied hillsides settled, and in place of the dry, 
parched, brown surface, behold green vineyards and pleas- 



200 THE WESTEKN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

ant fields of fruit, whose annually increasing wealth shall 
swell the golden tide until its shallow stream shall assume 
its true proportions, and, from a rivulet, become a mighty 
river. Until such changes shall have been made, the real 
wealth and capabilities of the county can only be conjec- 
tured. 

It is true that we desire to see this change, promising, as 
it does, so much of good, so much that is desirable. The 
most careless reader of these pages cannot fail of arriving 
at a correct conclusion regarding the capability of the 
county to support a population four-fold its present num- 
ber. In order to secure an increase of population, it would 
be proper to enumerate the advantages we have to offer 
emigrants to induce them to cast their lot with us. How- 
ever much we may wish it were otherwise, truth compels 
us to admit that those advantages are very few. Let us 
enumerate them: 

A soil of surpassing fertility, a genial climate, good 
water (generally easy of obtaining), a healthy country, 
good schools, and more than an average variety of relig- 
ious denominations with which to affiliate. 

That is about all we think of, and more than rightfully 
belongs in the list, for the incomparable soil of which Cali- 
fornians are so apt to boast is no longer open for entry by 
the poor man, be he immigrant or native. 

It seems rather rough on speculators and Immigrant Aid 
Societies to even attempt to disprove the oft-repeated as- 
sertion that California has lands enough for all who choose 
to settle within her borders. We will not deny the asser- 
tion. It is true — if the parties seeking land are not par- 
ticular regarding quantity, location, quality or price. But 
still, with all due deference to the journals (who should 
know better) that constantly reiterate the cry of free lands 
for immigrants, we purpose to state briefly the inducements 
to immigrants that are presented by Yolo County. The 
immigrant desires land — good land. Government land — 
such as he can enter at Government price, such as he can 
till, and from which he can receive immediate returns. 
There is no such laud in Yolo County; and we submit the 



YOLO COUNTY. 201 

proposition to those best acquainted with the land interest, 
that the same state of aflftiirs exists throughout the whole 
State. 

We admit that there is plenty of land for sale, but at 
prices ranging far beyond the means of the ordinary immi- 
grant. We admit that there are vacant lands, rich in natu- 
ral wealth, that can still be had of the Government; but 
those lands are of tlie foothill and mountainous districts, 
and fit only for the vine and fruit culture. To the poor 
immigrant they possess no attraction, because he must be 
230ssessed of capital sufiicient to enable him to live for 
three or four years before he can expect to receive any 
return from his investments, should he settle on and im- 
prove those lands. During the interval between planting 
the vineyard or orchard and its bearing season, he must 
trust to labor or the renting of lands. In either case, the 
prospect is none of the brightest for him during that inter- 
val. We have more laborers now than can find profitable 
employment; we have more renters than farms offered for 
rent. Then what inducement have we to offer the immi- 
grant, that shall cause him to pass by the Government lands 
of Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, or Illinois, the soil of which is 
equal to any in the world. Truly we have nothing — except 
a more genial climate. We would invite those editors who 
are continually calling for immigrants, to take a trip through 
the State and satisfy themselves regarding this matter. 
Can they for a moment believe the oft-repeated assertion, 
that there is "good land in plenty for all," after they have 
seen the thousands of farmers who annually rent farms, 
because they Ccin find no vacant lands on which to settle 
that would insure them a living ? Let them take note of 
the hundreds and thousands of farm laborers in this State, 
who can find employment only about six months of the 
year. Let them take further and final note of the vast land 
monopolies that have swallowed up all the available lands 
of the State, make a record of the prices at which those 
lands are held, and then we venture the assertion that they 
will coincide with us in the opinion that neither Yolo 



202 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER. 

County, nor yet tlie State, has any superior inducements 
to offer immigrants. 

The curse of land monopoly has destroyed the hopes of 
the immigrants, who, if well informed, know that they 
cannot hope to obtain land here on terms that will com- 
pare with the inducements offered them elsewhere. The 
fact is well known, that the majority of the available lands 
are held by speculators, at prices far 'beyond the reach of 
a poor man. 

It is argned that these speculators must sell, in time; 
that these tracts must be broken up; that they cannot hold 
them long, on account of interest, taxes and other causes. 
Let us see : The first cost of these lands was one dollar 
and twenty-five cents pev acre in greenbacks — equivalent to 
about eighty cents, gold, when these lands were purchased. 
These lands are held at from ten to fifty dollars per acre, 
according to locality — and what is of more importance, 
they sell for these sums when sold at all. They are rented, 
or most of these tracts are, and yearly bring the owner a 
large interest on the prices asked. They are taxed — yes, 
they are taxed ; but how much ? Land that sells from ten 
to fifty dollars per acre is taxed at three dollars to fifteen 
dollars per acre. Is it probable that wealthy men will part 
with property worth ten thousand dollars— bringing a large 
interest on that sum — and only paying taxes on two thou- 
sand five hundred dollars, unless compelled to ? Not until 
real estate is taxed to its full value, can we hope for a 
change beneficial to the cause of immigration, for our law- 
givers and land monopolists have raised a barrier to immi- 
gration more insurmountable than the Sierras — harder to 
overcome than the deserts which lie between vis and the 
people whose presence we covet. 

The emigrant who locates here must depend on renting 
land, if he be not able to purchase a farm at the ruling 
prices. There is no inducement in this to the true emi- 
grant. His object in seeking new localities is a home — ■ 
land that he can call his oion. He could rent land without 
removing from his birthplace. Then, what have we in 
Yolo, or in California, to offer the emigrant to induce him to 



YOLO COUNTY. 203 

pass tlie rich public lands of Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, 
with soil as fertile as our own, and make his home among 
us ? A better climate — nothing more. Strip the question 
of immigration of the mass of verbiage thrown around it, 
and the sophistry of speculative individuals who would 
sell their ill-gotten lands at a high figure, and it amounts 
to this — only this — a better climate. 

From the 'reasons given, and many others unmentioned, 
kindred to the subject, we are reluctantly compelled to 
admit that Yolo County can ofier no good reasons why 
immigrants should seek her borders; and this remark 
applies to the State at large. 

We find no fault with this state of affairs . We simply 
point out the absurdity of the ceaseless call for immi- 
grants, when the state of the land market forbids the immi- 
gration of families. 

We are well aware that the prices asked for Yolo County 
lands can be readily obtained in most instances — that the 
valuation placed on those lands in this book is generally 
below what they will bring — but this does not help immi- 
gration; on the contrary, retards it. Hence, we must look 
only to the natural increase, and cease to expect a great 
influx of population from foreign sources. At least, such 
is the plain view of the case, and no amount of false rea- 
soning can convince intelligent immigrants to the contrary.

Important to the Insuring Public 



The suspension of six out of the twelve Fire and Marine Insurance Companies 
of San Francisco, in less than three years, suggests to the insuring public the pro- 
priety of avoiding experimental Companies and taking to the old-established, 
conservative and wealthy Companies for protection of the solid and permanent 
order. 

THE 



Fire Insurance Companies 

OF HARTFORD AND NEW YORK, 

Are of the sterliug and conservative class. Their contracts are endorsed by over 
Side JUillion IJollavs of Assets. Their rates are as low as good insurance 
can be furnished at ; their adjustments of losses are made on an equitable and 
honorable basis and their 

Special Te7^ms 

For insuring detached frame-dwellings, occupied by owners, for one, three or 
five years, on One Payment of Premium are so favorable that all such 
property holders should seek the time-tried and fire-tested protection of these 
" Ijending American Insurance Companies" which has never 
yet failed the victims of fire in their hour of need. 

ly Those having policies in the lately suspended Insurance Companies 
will find it to their advantage and profit to seek protection at Fair Rates 
in the PHCENIX & HOME rather than accept the second-hand security selected 
for them by the suspended Companies.

NATIOMAL INDEBTEDNESS. 

It will be seen that, in proportion to territory, the debt of the United

within the census return:
